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.
Prone to leave the God I love:

I awoke to this song ringing down in my soul. About two days ago I purchased it to listen as oft as I like. Now, after my husband finish his Bible reading I am going to get our Hymn book and ask him to sing with me.
God sends us messages to strengthen our walk with Him.

The first part of stanza 2 originally says (see David Jones 4/18/2010):
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
----
This refers to the account in 1 Samuel 7 where the Ebenezer or stone of help was raised by Samuel as a symbolic memorial of God's faithfulness to His chosen people.
1Samuel 7:10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines advanced to battle against Israel. And the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were routed before Israel.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.
12 And Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, and said, Hitherto the LORD has helped us.
13 And the Philistines were subdued, and came no more into the borders of Israel; and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. (1Sa 7:10-13) - Kenneth W. Osbeck '52 Hymn Stories Dramatized'
