Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #341 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship 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. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, Mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God: He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed his precious blood. O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace now, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to thee. Amen. Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Tune Title: NETTLETON

His reign shall know no end; And round His pierced feet Fair flowers of paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 3 Crown him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o’er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those he came to save. His glories now we sing Who died and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For you have died for me Your praise shall never, never fail Throughout eternity. Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 2:7-8 Tune Title: DIADEMATA
