Let us all in thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest: Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all thy life receive! Speedily return, and never, Never more thy temples leave! 3 Finish then thy new creation, Pure, unspotted may we be: Let us see our whole salvation Perfectly secured by thee! Changed from glory unto glory, Till in heaven we take our place; Till we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

"Eben-ezer"

Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,300 hymnals Topics: Hope Under Despondency; Hope Under Despondency First Line: Come, thou Fount of every blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise; Teaching 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'll raise mine Eben-ezer; 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, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed his precious blood. 3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained 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; oh, take and seal it; Seal it for thy courts above. Used With Tune: NETTLETON
