Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,205 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:22 Lyrics: 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.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount– I'm fixed upon it–
mount of God's unchanging love.
2 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.
3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now 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, oh, take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above. Topics: Biblical Names and Places Ebenezer; Eternal Life; Jesus Christ Blood of; Jesus Christ Grace; Music and Singing; Elements of Worship Opening of Worship: Called And Gathered Used With Tune: NETTLETON

he sets the pris'ner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.

by saints below and saints above,
the church in earth and heav'n. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Adoration and Praise; Christ--Adoration and praise; Christ--Grace and mercy of; Christ--Name of Jesus; Justification; Spread of the Gospel Used With Tune: AZMON

O sacred head sore wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; James Waddell Alexander, 1804-59 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 726 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 Lyrics: 1 O sacred head sore wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down;
O kingly head surrounded
with thorns your only crown;
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays;
yet hosts of heaven adore you
and tremble as they gaze.
2 What language shall I borrow
to praise you, heavenly friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Such agony and dying!
Such love to sinners free!
O Christ, all grace supplying,
turn now your face on me.
3 In this your bitter Passion,
good Shepherd, think of me,
look on me with compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath your cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in your dear love confiding,
and with your presence blessed.
4 Lord, be my consolation,
my shield when death is near;
remind me of your Passion,
be with me when I fear.
My eyes shall then behold you,
upon your cross shall dwell,
my heart by faith enfold you;
and who dies thus, dies well.

Baptize their spirits in its light.

That sink and perish in the strife,
Shall touch in faith its radiant hem
And spring immortal into life.

Our glory, only in the cross;
Our only hope, the Crucified!

Proclaim the wise, and pow'rful God;

Outshines the wonders of the skies.

Where he unveils his lovely face!
Where all his beauties you behold,
And sing his name, to harps of gold! Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testatment
