Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
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 thy redeeming love.
2. Here I raise mine 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 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.

I love some of the old hymns. Some I could do without, but there are those that bring me to tears. Love "Amazing Grace" and "How Great Thou Art". Thanks for the reminder!
Love this hymn as well! Glad to see California SAHM back in action! I've missed your posts.
Dear cousin, you have good taste, that is one of my most favorite hymns also. :o)
Cute kids. And certainly good to remember hubby before you were done! Thanks for sharing your favourite hymn. "Come, Thou Fount" is a special song to many others too--250 years old, and yet it still speaks to us.
