O Thou Fount of Every Blessing

 1  

O 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 God's unchanging love.  

2  

Here I raise my Ebenezer;  

Hither by Thy help I'm 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.  

3  

O to grace how great a debtor  

Daily I'm constrained to be!  

Let that grace now 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.

 1 Samuel 7:12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.   

Luke 15:3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.    

2 Corinthians 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
