Come Thou Fount (I Will Sing)
Chris Tomlin's rendition of the classic hymn 'Come Thou Fount' is a prayerful song of gratitude and surrender. It asks God to tune the heart to sing His grace and mercy, acknowledging human weakness and the tendency to wander. The lyrics celebrate God's pursuing kindness and the sacrifice of Jesus, who rescued the wandering soul. The song culminates in a plea for God to seal the heart for heaven, expressing hope in His help and a desire to remain faithful. It draws on biblical imagery like Ebenezer and the mount of redeeming love, emphasizing God's steadfast love and the believer's dependence on grace.
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 Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I 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
How Your kindness yet pursues me
How Your mercy never fails me
Till the day that death shall loose me
I will sing, oh I will sing
Turnaround
Oh 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 Lord, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
How Your kindness yet pursues me
How Your mercy never fails me
Till the day that death shall loose me
I will sing, oh I will sing
How Your kindness yet pursues me
How Your mercy never fails me
Till the day that death shall loose me
I will sing, oh I will sing
Till the day that death shall loose me
I will sing, oh I will sing
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Here's my heart Lord, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
