Come Thou Fount

"Come Thou Fount" is a beloved hymn of deep gratitude and humble surrender. The words capture a profound spiritual truth that resonates with anyone who has ever felt their faith waver: the honest admission that we are "prone to wander," yet constantly pursued by God's unchanging love. It is a prayer asking God to tune our hearts and bind us close, recognizing that every blessing we receive flows directly from Him.

In our parishes, this piece is a wonderful choice for an Entrance hymn or a general song of praise, setting a tone of reverence and joyful thanksgiving for the Mass. The traditional American melody has a gentle, rolling momentum that carries the congregation effortlessly. When the choir leads the faithful in singing "Here's my heart, O take and seal it," it becomes a powerful, unified act of devotion, offering our very lives back to the Creator.
