tune my heart to sing Thy grace...

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.





Here I raise mine 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. 


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. Amen

Come Thou Font~ Nettleton
