Come thou Font of Every Blessing

Holy Cow Tonight was so amazing!!! I went to Sister Madsen's house and got to play for her and her family to help give them comfort! Music is so amazing that way because it is so therapeutic and when you play you think thing through to the point where you don't think of any thing at all you just concentrate on the music! Especially when you listen to it also! :D Like I said on the last post she has cancer and doesn't know how long she has to live because of the cancer has reached her heart! Pretty much every body in the room was in tears or teary eyed! And the spirit guided me on this one! The person that contacted me to pick a couple pieces to play, she suggested to play America the Beautiful, and Abide with me tis even tide. But when I was looking at my book of hymns that I can play on my Viola. I saw Come thou font of every blessing and had a feeling that I needed to play it! And as it turns out it is one of her favorite hymns!!! :D Talk about amazing! I have loved this hymn since I was like twelve and it is still one of my favorites to give me some comfort when I am down in the dumps! :D After I played it! They asked me to play Come thou font again! And by the time I was done playing it, everybody was either in tears or teary eyed! It was a great experience! :D



---------Here are the Lyrics to "Come thou font of Every Blessing!!-------

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.----

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.---

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 death shall loose me
I cannot proclaim it well.---

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.---

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.----


Talk about amazing!! :D I hope you enjoy the lyrics as much as I do! It always brings chills to my spine and Tears to my eyes every time I hear them!! :D
