Come, Thou Fount

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

“A fountain opened … to cleanse them from sin and iniquity.” Zechariah 13:1

Today is the Lord’s day, and I love this hymn. Take some time to think through the words:

Come, Thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace.
Streams of mercy NEVER ceasing,
Call for sounds of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount – I’m fixed upon it --
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Hither to Thy love has blest me,
Thou hast brought me to this place,
and I know Thy hand will bring me,
Safely home by Thy good grace.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God.
HE, to rescue ME from danger,
Bought ME with HIS precious blood.

O, to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, as 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!
