145t Warrenton

Words: Robert Robinson, 1758

Music: J. Williams & William Walker, 1835

Meter: 8s,7s (8,7,8,7)

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.

Chorus:

I am bound for the kingdom,
Will you go to glory with me?
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.

(Chorus)

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.

(Chorus)
