Lyrics to the hymn, Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing
Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals.
Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing, by Robert Robinson in 1758.
It's a lot older than I thought it was, so I think that's kind of neat.
If you don't know the tune, follow the links I'll leave down below; I only recommend good singers.
Now, on with the show!
Verse 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.
Verse 2
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.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand'ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
Verse 3
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my yielded heart to Thee.
Let me know Thee in Thy fullness;
Guide me by Thy mighty hand,
'Til, transformed, in Thine own image
In Thy presence I shall stand.
What a pretty hymn. It was the first hymn I was really any good at on the violin.
I was playing Mary Had A Little Lamb on my violin, and I realized that both of these songs had similar notes, and I went from there; on my first try, as I was figuring it out, my incredibly musically inclined, and also very hyper critical, parakeet sang along.
Score! 😃
Anyway.
God is good to us, and He deserves our greatest praise. Part of praise is singing hymns; I suggest memorizing these wonderful works of art. The hymns, I mean, not the pictures.
