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.

I too have had the words “and thy Goodness like a fetter binds my wandering heart to Thee..... ” dancing in my mind from last night , through the night, now into mid morning. God is speaking to me and my listening has been reawakened because I am focusing . At a women’s retreat of 145 women for the weekend. What a free place and time to “listen”. Thank you for the words and writer of this old hymn and for the urging of God for me to return to a more disciplined God centered life.

Just woke up at 2 am with this hymn on my mind. How it cuts through all the baggage of life and draws us to the fountain of life.

I must have learned this hymn as a child in church and it's rooted in my soul. What a great heritage we have in such beautiful spiritual poetry.

He to rescue me from dander,

Interposed His Precious Blood.

Thank you Lord Jesus.

Such a beautiful hymn for the Church. Personally, Prone to wander” There is the tendency to stray at times - but you feel it. Thank God for His amazing Grace that draws us back to Him.

Original lyrics by Robinson from CyberHymnal:

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.

Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it,

Mount of Thy redeeming love.

----------------------------

2. Sorrowing I shall be in spirit,

Till released from flesh and sin,

Yet from what I do inherit,

Here Thy praises I'll begin;

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.

-------------------------

3. Jesus sought me when a stranger,

Wandering from the fold of God;

He, to rescue me from danger,

Interposed His precious blood;

How His kindness yet pursues me

Mortal tongue can never tell,

Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me

I cannot proclaim it well.

------------------------------

4. O 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, O take and seal it,

Seal it for Thy courts above.

5. O that day when freed from sinning,

I shall see Thy lovely face;

Clothèd then in blood washed linen

How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;

Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,

Take my ransomed soul away;

Send thine angels now to carry

Me to realms of endless day.

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.

Take my heart, oh, take & seal it

With Thy Spirit from 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.
