Jesus sought me when a stranger,Wandering from the fold of God;He, to rescue me from danger,Interposed His precious blood;How His kindness yet pursues me Mortal tongue can never tell,Clothed in flesh, till d

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, sing Tune my heart to 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.

Sorrowing I shall be in spirit,Till released from flesh and sin,Yet from what I do inherit,

Here Thy praises I’ll begin;Here I raise my Ebenezer; Here by Thy great help I’ve come;And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,Safely to arrive at home.

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 to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,Bind my wandering heart to Thee.

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;

Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,Take my ransomed soul away; Send thine angels now to carry Me to realms of endless day. earth shall loose me I cannot proclaim it well.

Robert Robinson (1735-1790) got saved under the ministry of George Whitefield. He even entered into the Christian ministry, but he still tended to wandered from God. He wrote the hymn “Come Thou Fount” as an autobiographical sketch. His heart would get out of tune, causing him to neglect God. In stanza two he tells of his conversion. And stanza three he admits that he has a daily debt to Grace and asked God to help his wandering heart.. One day, in his latter years, while he was on a stagecoach, a female passenger wanted to share her faith with him. His actions that day spoke as one not knowing Christ. She quoted this hymn saying, “These words might help you as they have helped me.” He sobbed, “Madam, I am the poor, unhappy man who composed that hymn many years ago. I would give a thousand worlds, if I had them, to enjoy the feelings I had then.”
