Come, Thou Fount

Yesterday was also the first sunday I was back in my student ward. I really missed my bishopric and the love that I can feel from them. We had a really good sacrament meeting yesterday and I felt the spirit very strongly. The name of this post is "Come, Thou Fount" because there was a special musical number that was performed very beautifully yesterday of this song. It was the same arrangement as Freddy Ashby during the Reflections of Christ photography exhibit. I have that soundtrack and this song is by far my absolute favorite!!! The lyrics are so powerful and I always feel the spirit when I hear this song. If you have not heard the song I strongly encourage you. I posted the video for you to listen and to see the beautiful pictures!

1. 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.   2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer;   hither by thy help I'm 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.   3. 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.
