TRANSCRIPT
Come Thou Fount of every blessingTune my heart to sing Thy praise
Streams of mercy, never ceasingCall for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnetSung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon itMount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer,Hither by Thy help I’m come
And I hope, by Thy good pleasureSafely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a strangerWandering form the fold of God,
He, to rescue me from danger,Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtorDaily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace now like a fetterBind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,Prone to leave the God I love,
Here’s my heart, Lord take and seal it,Seal it for Thy courts above.
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! EmmanuelShall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! EmmanuelShall come to thee, O Israel.
I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
~ John 1:51
For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
~ Matthew 16:33 (ESV)
