MM: Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Two of my favorites this week: Come Thou Fount  and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.  I actually know a few people who are or who have been members of "MoTab".   I love the game I play of trying to pick them out when I see them on television.

 I love listening to them sing--both recorded and live, in the Tabernacle on Temple Square.  They just give me goosebumps with many of their songs/hymns.

Come, Thou Fount really gives me goosebumps.  I love this adaptation by Mack Wilberg.  The instrumental parts are probably what give me the most goosebumps in this particular hymn.

Enjoy!





1. 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.

2. Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’ve 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
