Jewin Street by James P. Carrell — 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 Jewin Street
James P. Carrell's SATB setting of Jewin Street is a sacred anthem that draws on the rich tradition of English hymnody. The text, a prayer for divine grace and guidance, speaks of God's unwavering mercy and the singer's desire to offer heartfelt praise. It reflects on the journey of faith, from straying afar to the ultimate hope of arriving home, acknowledging Jesus's sacrificial act in rescuing believers from danger. The music aims to capture the fervent spirit of the words, encouraging a 'melodious sonnet' of praise and cementing the believer's resolve upon the 'Mount of Thy redeeming love'.
