come thou fount of every blessing...

 "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
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy 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 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

 

This is my favorite hymn and there is so much about our faith packed in these words put to such beautiful music. But as we sang this in church this morning, I was overwhelmed with the many blessings we have received, especially recently, and how utterly undeserving we are of them. How great a God we have and how thankful we are for His constant love and help. May this song live in our hearts always!
