Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand’ring from the face of God;
He, to save my soul from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand’ring from the face of God;
He, to save my soul from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.
Teach me, Lord, some rapturous measure,
Meet for me Thy grace to prove,
While I sing the countless treasure
Of my God’s unchanging love.
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.
Teach me, Lord, some rapturous measure,
Meet for me Thy grace to prove,
While I sing the countless treasure
Of my God’s unchanging love.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love:
Take my heart, oh, take and seal it
With Thy Spirit from above.
Rescued thus from sin and danger,
Purchased by the Savior’s blood,
May I walk on earth a stranger,
As a son and heir of God.
Prone to leave the God I love:
Take my heart, oh, take and seal it
With Thy Spirit from above.
Rescued thus from sin and danger,
Purchased by the Savior’s blood,
May I walk on earth a stranger,
As a son and heir of God.

I'm prone to wonder but I'm so thankful for a loving Father who wins me back. He leaves the 99 for the 1. Take my heart Lord and SEAL it with Your Spirit.

This beautiful "melodious sonnet" breaks my heart each time I hear it, for I, too, have had a heart prone to wander. I once read an account of the author who, years later, after he had, indeed, wandered far and long from God, was seated on a train near a young lady who was beautifully singing the words of his song. It broke his heart so, that he returned to the God he loved...the prodigal returned to the God who loved him.

I am so blessed by this song! It woos me back into the fold like a siren at sea. It is full of wonder at Gods never ending grace abd the JOY that is ours when we receive it.

I love this song! I hear it from afar whenever my neighbor plays it every morning. I had to look for the song online...it's a blessing to my soul!

After sunshine begins to dawn after a period of pain and sorrow, this song flew into my mouth and fingers.

What an amazing song! I am so often prone to wander, so it is an encouraging song. I love to wake up in the morning and sing a hymn with my devotions, and I often flip to this one.

I love this song so much. It blesses my soul always. For some days now I can't stop singing it out as my worship to God who has been faithful to me and my family.

I never tire of hearing this beautiful old hymn either. Learned it not from church, but from the leaders of a powerful ministry of which I have been a member for many years. Very stirring.
One of the most stirring, soul-inspiring hymns that surpasses the ages....I never tire of hearing this magnificent work....
