What We Sang Today – Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
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.
Here I raise my 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, 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.
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.
- Robert Robinson, 1758
