Original text and translations

English text

1. Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loud praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love!

2. Here I’ll raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
