About this Hymn
Susannah Spurgeon once wrote, "Dear friends, some of us do not praise our God half enough. We 'raise an Ebenezer' (1 Sam. 7:12) now and then, but we pitifully fail to obey the command, 'Rejoice in the Lord always' (Phil. 4:4). Yet, how much we have to bless him for, and what sweet encouragement is given to our gratitude by his assurance, 'Whoever offers praise glorifies me!' (Ps. 50:23)." Praise is the best response to God's blessings in our lives.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Come, thou Fount of ev'ry 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
Hitherto thy love hath blessed me; thou hast brought me to this place; and I know thy hand will lead me safely home by thy good grace. 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 thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wand'ring heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above!
Verse 4
Oh, that day when, freed from sinning, I shall see thy lovely face; full arrayed in blood-washed linen, how I'll sing thy sov'reign grace! Come, my Lord, no longer tarry, bring thy promises to pass; for I know thy pow'r will keep me till I'm home with thee at last!
