Owl City - Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing Lyrics

“Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” is a prayer for grace that joins gratitude, dependence, and honest self-examination. The opening asks God to tune the heart for praise, while the image of unending streams of mercy gives that praise its source. The raised Ebenezer recalls a biblical memorial of divine help, allowing past faithfulness to support hope for safe arrival. The account of Jesus seeking a wanderer and giving His blood then places rescue at the center of the hymn.\n\nIts final stanzas acknowledge both obligation to grace and the persistent tendency to stray. Grace is pictured as a binding cord, not as permission for distance, and the offered heart becomes the proper response to redeeming love. The confession of being prone to wander gives the hymn unusual candor, but it does not end in despair. Instead, it asks God to secure an unstable heart for His courts. The closing pledge of love fits that movement from mercy received to devotion offered.
