Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing / If You Could Hie to Kolob

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

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither, by Thy help, I 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

If you could hie to Kolob
In the twinkling of an eye
And then continue onward
With that same speed to fly
Do you think that you could ever
Through all eternity
Find out the generation
Where gods began to be?

Or see the grand beginning
Where space did not extend?
Or view the last creation
Where gods and matter end?
Methinks the Spirit whispers
"No man has found 'pure space
Nor seen the outside curtains
Where nothing has a place"

If you could hie to Kolob
In the twinkling of an eye
(Come Thou) and then (fount of)
Conti- (every) -nue (ble-) on- (-ssing) -ward
(Tune my) with that (heart)
Same (to sing) speed (Thy) to (praise) fly
Do (streams of) you think (mer-)
That (-cy) you (never) could e- (ceasing) -ver
(Call for) through all (songs)
E- (of) -ter- (loudest) nity (praise)

Find (teach me some) out
The (melo-) ge- (-dious) nera- (sonnet) tion
(Sung by) where gods (fla-)
Began (-ming tongues) to (above) be?
(Praise the) If you (mount)
Could (I'm) hie (fixed) to (upon it) Kolob
(Mount of) in the (Thy) twin-
(Re-) -kling (dee-) of (-ming) an eye (love)

O to grace, how great a debtor
Daily, I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Here's my heart, O take and seal
Seal it for Thy courts above
