Come, thou fount of ev'ry blessing by Thomas Clark — 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 ev'ry blessing
Thomas Clark's setting of Come, thou fount of every blessing is a sacred hymn for SATB choir. The familiar English text, often attributed to Robert Robinson, speaks of divine grace and mercy, and the desire for the heart to be attuned to singing God's praise. The lyrics express a profound gratitude for redemption, recalling the moment Jesus sought out the 'stranger' and 'wand'ring' soul, offering His precious blood for rescue. The music aims to capture the steadfastness and hope found in the hymn's imagery of the 'Mount of Thy redeeming love' and the raising of an 'Ebenezer' as a memorial to God's help in reaching a safe home.
