186. I Will Arise

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 will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.

2 Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love. [Refrain]

3 Here I’ll raise mine Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home. [Refrain]

4 Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood. [Refrain]
