Lyrics to the hymn, Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing

Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals.

Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing


The Subject At Hand

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!

The Lyrics

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.

Afterwards

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.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
