LyicsCome, thou fount of ev'ry blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise,
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount---O fix me on it,
Mount of thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by thy help I've come,
And I hope by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home;
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He to rescue me from danger,
Interpos'd his precious blood.
O! to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I'm constrain'd to be!
Let thy goodness like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love---
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for thy court above.
