Come Thou Fount #280
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
Hitherto thy love has blest me. Thou has brought me to this
place
And I know thy hand will bring me safely home by thy good
grace
Jesus sought me when a stranger
wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger bought me with his precious
blood
O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be
Let thy goodness as 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
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
Here's my heart O take and seal it. Seal
it for thy courts above

Come and fill our hearts today

A thousand times I’ve failed still your
mercy remains and should I stumble
again still I’m caught in your grace
Everlasting your light will shine when all
else fadesNever-ending your
glory goes beyond all fame
Your will above all else my purpose
remainsThe art of losing
myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting your light will shine when all
else fadesNever-ending your
glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart in my soul
Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embraceTo love you from the
inside out
Everlasting you light will shine when all
else fadesNever-ending your
glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring you
praise from the inside out Lord my
soul cries out
Everlasting you light will shine when all
else fadesNever-ending your
glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring you
praise from the inside out Lord my soul cries out Lord
