Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LIV (1791) First Line: Come thou Fount of ev'ry Blessing! Lyrics: 1. Come, thou Fount of ev'ry 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 fixt upon it,
Mount of God's unchanging Love!
2. Here I raise mine 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,
Wand'ring from the Fold of God;
He, to rescue me from Danger,
Interpos'd His precious Blood.
3. Oh, to Grace how great a Debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that Grace, Lord, like a Fetter,
Bind my wand'ring Soul 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!
4 Oh that Day when freed from Sinning!
I shall see thy lovely Face!
Clothed in thy Blood-wash'd Linnen
How I'll sing thy Sov'reign Grace!
Come, dear Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my raptur'd Soul away;
Send thine Angels down to carry
Me to Realms of Endless Day.
5 If thou ever didst discover
To my Faith the promis'd Land,
Bid me now the Stream pass over,
On the heav'nly Borders stand;
Now surmount whate'er opposes,
And to thine Embrace I'll fly;
Speak the Word thou spake to Moses;
Bid me, "Get me up and die." Topics: Supplicatory Hymns Languages: English
