Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. John 1:16 (ESV)

Great time of worship tonight. We sang another one of my favorite old hymns.  Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing was written in 1758 by Robert Robinson, a Methodist minister. Read his words and reflect on what they express. Powerful! - ah

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Verses by Robert Robinson

1758

Chorus by Thomas Miller

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 God's unchanging love.

2. 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.

3. 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.

CHORUS:

Come, Thou Fount, come, Thou King;
Come, Thou precious Prince of Peace
Hear Your bride, to You we sing,
come, Thou Fount of our blessing
Come, Thou Fount, come, Thou King;
Come, Thou precious Prince of Peace
Hear Your bride, to You we sing,
come, Thou Fount of our blessing
