Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #278 (2024) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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 fixed upon it,
Mount of thine unchanging love.
2. Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by thy grace I've come;
So I hope by thy good pleasure
Shortly to arrive at home;
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring 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 constrain'd to be;
Let that grace now like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to thee;
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Take 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;
Cloth'd than in the blood-wash'd linen,
How I'll sing thy sov'reign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransom'd soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 17 Scripture: James 1:17 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON
