Come, Thou fount of every blessing by William Boyce — Lyrics

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!

About Come, Thou fount of every blessing

This much-loved hymn tune, "Come, Thou Fount of every blessing", is set here for SATB choir. William Boyce's setting captures the profound gratitude and devotion of the text, which speaks of God's unending mercy and grace. The lyrics express a desire for the heart to be tuned to sing God's praises, and to raise an "Ebenezer" – a stone of remembrance – to mark His help and guidance. This is a powerful anthem for occasions of thanksgiving, or for services focusing on redemption and God's faithfulness. The familiar English text is a profound expression of spiritual journey and unwavering trust in divine love, making it a deeply resonant choice for congregational singing and choir performance alike.
