Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,203 hymnals Topics: Church Ordinances of 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; 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'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.

Scripture: Proverbs 8:17 Used With Tune: SILOAM

Let me hide myself in thee. Scripture: John 19:34 Used With Tune: ROCK OF AGES
