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:
Bless the Lord, Oh my soul!
Praise the Lord, Oh my brother!
Shout and sing, Oh my sister!
Give Him glory, Oh my father!
And rejoice, Oh my mother!
And we’ll travel on together,
And we’ll join heart and hands for Canaan.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount, Oh fix me on it,
Mount of God’s unchanging love.
(Chorus)
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)
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
