Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing
By Jadon Lavik
Come Thou Fount
Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy praise
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
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
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 Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Seal it
Take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above
Take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above
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
This is a description of the song that I found on the web. It gives the meaning behind the song and how it applies to Christians. The fount or fountain of every blessing is the Lord Jesus. The fountain speaks more directly to the blood of Jesus being spilt, with the immediate results that He died, with the long term results being that those who trust in Him have their sins forgiven. The song is a prayer first to have the Lord "tune my heart" to sing God's praise. That is, that the Lord transform our heart so that we may more appropriately offer praise to God.
I couldn't have described this song better. A song of PRAYER and PRAISE. It is my desire to have God not only "tune my heart" but to transform it as well.
