Hymn: Come, Thou Fount of every blessing

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
  Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
  Call for songs of loudest praise.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
  Wand’ring from the face of God;
He, to save my soul from danger,
  Interposed His precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor
  Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
  Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.
Teach me, Lord, some rapturous measure,
  Meet for me Thy grace to prove,
While I sing the countless treasure
  Of my God’s unchanging love.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
  Prone to leave the God I love:
Take my heart, oh, take and seal it
  With Thy Spirit from above.
Rescued thus from sin and danger,
  Purchased by the Savior’s blood,
May I walk on earth a stranger,
  As a son and heir of God.

The Melody is beautiful, soul-catching. Perhaps The Lord may inspire some to write more songs with this Music. Some of their fresh enjoyment of The Lord or from a truth from a message.

Many thanks to David Jones from the United Kingdom, These are the words my friend and I remember only we could only recall the last four lines of the second verse. God has blessed us both with this hymn. Thanks be to HIM.

I first heard this song as part of a 3 CD set of '100 Best Love Hymns'. After playing the CD over and over, the song caught my attention and I was drawn to its melody and certain words I was able to make out. Wanting to find out more, I went on the net to research its lyrics and found your site. This song is truly beautiful. This was since last year. Yesterday (18 Sept 2010), I heard it in my spirit, click on the bookmark and listen to it again as the song minister to me once more and brought tears to my eyes.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and tommorrow. Praise His holy name!

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.

I love this song.

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 unchanging love

Here I raise my Ebenezer

Here there by Thy great help I've 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

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, oh, take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above

Stanzas 2 and 3 are revised:

2. Oh, to grace how great a debtor

Daily I'm constrained to be!

Let that grace, Lord, 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

With Thy Spirit from above.

3. Now that I've obtained salvation,

Been from sins and death set free,

Let me live a life uncommon,

Manifest God's Son through me.

Here I raise my Ebenezer;

Here by Thy great help I've come,

And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,

Safely to arrive at home.
