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 unchanging love

2. Here I raise my 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 save my soul 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 from thy courts above.

Refrain:

   Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
   We are on our journey home;
   Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
   Jesus smiles and bids us come.
