Elenyi Music's 'Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing / If You Could Hie to Kolob' is a medley combining a classic Christian hymn with a Latter-day Saint text. The first part is a traditional hymn of gratitude and surrender, acknowledging God as the source of every blessing and asking for His grace to keep the heart faithful. The second part, from a LDS hymn, poetically explores the vastness of eternity and the incomprehensibility of God's existence, emphasizing that human understanding cannot grasp the divine. The song blends themes of thanksgiving, faith, and the mystery of God's nature.
1. If you could hie to Kolob
In the twinkling of an eye,
And then continue onward
With that same speed to fly,
Do you think that you could ever,
Through all eternity,
Find out the generation
Where Gods began to be?
2. Or see the grand beginning,
Where space did not extend?
Or view the last creation,
Where Gods and matter end?
Methinks the Spirit whispers,
"No man has found 'pure space,'
Nor seen the outside curtains,
Where nothing has a place."
