Sabbath Snapshot-- a favorite hymn

10/23/11 Sabbath Snapshot-- a favorite hymn Click to hear the melody and sing along in your heart. I chose a bell version for for my friend Carolyn.

For continuous melody along with the words, click on the song title below.
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.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood;
How His kindness yet pursues me
Mortal tongue can never tell,
Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me
I cannot proclaim it well.

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.


You can probably hear me belting out on the last verse because it is the one that sadly reflects my fickle heart. But God…….O His grace. How grateful I am.
