The first hymn in a collection of hymns

Title: Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Composer: John Wyeth
Arranger: Fred Bock

This hymn was written in 1758, and it was the first hymn in a collection of hymns for the user of the Church of Christ. Nettleton is the name of the tune composed for this hymn, by John Wyeth. Fred Bock was an organist in California who played and arranged both piano and organ music. In one of his books he tells that he enjoyed playing the piano more than the organ. That's where I am too. Someone asked me about that, saying that organists have to use their feet a lot, like their whole body. But I said, "Yes, but when you press an organ key, either hard or soft, it comes out the same, depending on the pipes you chose, but on the piano you can play each key 20 different ways, and I enjoy working at that. Plus you still use your feet.

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 God's redeeming love.

Here I find my greatest treasure;
hither by thy help I've 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,
bought me with his precious blood.
