<p>Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,<br>
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;<br>
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,<br>
Call for songs of loudest praise.<br>
Teach me some melodious sonnet,<br>
Sung by flaming tongues above.<br>
Praise the mount! I&#8217;m fixed upon it,<br>
Mount of Thy redeeming love.</p>
<p>Here I raise my Ebenezer;<br>
Here by Thy great help I&#8217;ve come;<br>
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,<br>
Safely to arrive at home.<br>
Jesus sought me when a stranger,<br>
Wandering from the fold of God;<br>
He, to rescue me from danger,<br>
Interposed His precious blood.</p>
<p>O to grace how great a debtor<br>
Daily I&#8217;m constrained to be!<br>
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,<br>
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.<br>
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,<br>
Prone to leave the God I love;<br>
Here&#8217;s my heart, O take and seal it,<br>
Seal it for Thy courts above.</p>
