Evie Clair - Come Thou Fount

Evie Clair - Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Lyrics - Robert Robinson (18th century)
Melody - John Wyeth
Arrangement - Evie Clair

The lyrics reference 1 Samuel 7:12, which records that the prophet Samuel “took a stone ... and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.” The word Ebenezer, meaning stone of help, appears in the lyrics of hymnal versions.

Lyrics

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 come,

And I hope by thy good pleasure safely to arrive at home.

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.

Jesus sought me when a stranger wandering from the fold of God.

He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood.

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.

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.

Seal it for thy courts above.
