Come Thou Fount


I had the amazing opportunity to be at the Catalyst Conference when this was performed. I've always had a thing for the original version of this hymn but I absolutely love the edition with the verses from Psalm 29. Tonight at The Post we sang this song and I just couldn't help but marvel at how well this song describes my heart as well as God's character. This may be my favorite worship song. Have a listen and read the lyrics.




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 his Name, I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’ve 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;

God of glory, voice of thunder,
Split the cedars, bring us under,
Oh the shadows, of your wings;
You give us strength, you give us peace;

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.

God of glory, voice of thunder,
Split the cedars, bring us under,
Oh the shadows, of your wings;
You give us strength, you give us peace;
