Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing by John Wyeth — Lyrics

VERSE 1 Come, thou fount of ev'ry 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 God's unchanging love. VERSE 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.

About Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

"Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is a beloved hymn of gratitude that captures the honest struggle of faith. The lyrics speak directly to the human heart's tendency to stray, asking God's grace to act as a fetter that binds us to Him. It is a deeply personal prayer of surrender, acknowledging that every good thing we have flows from a divine source.

In the choir loft, this piece is often brought out during the Offertory or as a general hymn of praise. The traditional "Nettleton" melody carries a sweeping, folk-like momentum that congregations love to sing. When sung in four-part harmony, the lower voices provide a steady, walking foundation while the sopranos soar through the hopeful, ascending phrases. It is a song that reminds us of our dependence on God's unchanging love, making it a comforting and uplifting choice for Sunday Mass.
