Robert Morehead - Hymn Of The Week

Hymn of the Week for 6/13/21-Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

1 Come, thou Fount of ev'ry blessing,

tune my heart to sing thy grace;

streams of mercy, never ceasing,

call for songs of loudest praise.

While the hope of endless glory

fills my heart with joy and love,

teach me ever to adore thee;

may I still thy goodness prove.

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,

wand'ring 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 wand'ring 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.

Shepherd Me, O God

Refrain

Shepherd me, O God, beyond my wants,

beyond my fears, from death into life.

1 God is my shepherd, so nothing shall I want,

I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love,

I walk by the quiet waters of peace. Refrain

2 Gently you raise me and heal my weary soul,

you lead me by pathways of righteousness and truth,

my spirit shall sing the music of your name. Refrain

3 Though I should wander the valley of death,

I fear no evil, for you are at my side,

your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope. Refrain

4 You have set me a banquet of love

in the face of hatred,

crowning me with love beyond my pow'r to hold. Refrain

5 Surely your kindness and mercy follow me

all the days of my life;

I will dwell in the house of my God forevermore. Refrain

Be not afraid, sing out for joy!

Christ is risen, alleluia!

Be not afraid, sing out for joy!

Christ is risen, alleluia!
