Lyrics:
Come, oh Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Your 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, name of God’s redeeming love
All my life Your love has blessed me; You have brought me to this place
And I know Your hand will bring me safely home by Your good grace
Jesus sought me when a stranger wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger, bought me with His precious blood
Chorus:
Praise His name, lift your voice, lift your hands up to the sky
Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights
Every blessing He pours down is from His wonderous love
So praise the Spirit, praise the Father and His Holy Son
Oh to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Your 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, oh take and seal it, seal it for Your courts above
Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it, seal it for Your courts above
He, to rescue me from danger, Bought me with His precious blood
Praise His name – I’m fixed upon it, name of God’s redeeming love
