| Text: | Come, Thou Fount |
| Author: | Robert Robinson |
| Tune: | [Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing] |
| Composer: | John Wyeth |
1 Come, 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— I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love!
2 Here I raise mine Ebenezer—
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand'ring from the fold of God;
He to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrain'd to be!
Let thy goodness like a fetter,
Bind my wand'ring 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.
