Come Thou FounT of Every Blessing

• 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 His Name, I'm fixed upon it,
  Name of Gods redeeming love

  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,
  Wandering from the fold of God;
  He, to rescue me from danger,
  Interposed His precious blood;

  Oh, that day when freed from sinning
  I shall see Thy lovely face
  Clothed then in the blood washed linen
  How I'll sing Thy wondrous grace
  Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
  Take my ransomed soul away
  Send Thine angels now to carry
  Me to realms of endless day

  Oh 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, Oh take and seal it,
  Seal it for Thy courts above

Discussion Questions

1. Reflect on how God has blessed you in the most powerful way; what is your salvation testimony?

2. Why do you think we’re so prone to wander?

3. How will you set a “stone of remembrance” that will help you better remember God’s deliverance?
