Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

An instrumental version of the classic hymn to a slideshow of sunsets and landscapes.

This 18th century hymn was written by Robert Robinson set to the music of Nettleton in the 19th century. There are many versions, but this is my favorite. This is my own arrangement and if I had put words in this recording, these would be the words that were sung.

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.

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;

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.

Thanks for your kind comments. I can't listen to the recording right now, but I don't remember playing any trills. I could be wrong. Where are they at? I'll try to listen later.

This is the most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard! Simple and elegant, the way I aspire to play. I would love to see you do more hymns!
