AN ARRANGEMENT OF THE TUNE "NETTLETON" FOR ALTO OR MEZZO-SOPRANO AND ORGAN.

This arrangement came about during a recording session with the great gospel singer, Theresa Thomason. It was one of those first-take wonders when Theresa and Paul were in a little Congregational Church in Norfolk, CT and decided to improvise on this theme. The arrangement uses the first and last verses  of Robert Robinson's beloved text. The second half of the second verse comprises the text for the connecting improvised  'bridge'.

    Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing

    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! Oh, I’m fixed on it,
    mount of Thy redeeming love.

    Jesus sought me when a stranger,
    wandering from the fold of God.
    He, to rescue me from danger,
    interposed his precious blood.

    Oh, 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, oh, take and seal it,
    seal it for thy courts above.
