Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Jesus sought me when a stranger, 
Wandering from the fold of God; 
He, to rescue me from danger, 
Interposed His precious blood! 

 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! 

 O that day when freed from sinning, 
I shall see Thy lovely face; 
Clothed then in blood-washed linen 
How I'll sing Thy sovereign grace! 

 [Robert Robinson]



Isaiah 53:6 ...  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
