Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Robert Robinson · Tune: WARRENTON

Verse 1

Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.

Refrain

I am bound for the kingdom,
Will you go to glory with me?
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

Verse 2

Here I raise mine Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home.

Refrain

I am bound for the kingdom,
Will you go to glory with me?
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

Verse 3

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee.

Refrain

I am bound for the kingdom,
Will you go to glory with me?
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.
