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 courts above.
