559. Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

1 Come, Thou Fount of every 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.

2 Here I raise my Ebenezer;
hither by Thy help I’m come;
and I hope by Thy good pleasure
safely to arrive at home. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]
