Today in church, we sang one of my favorite hymns, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. Time and again, the words of this poem have been for me a source of solace and encouragement, the prayer of my heart.

I won’t reproduce the entire thing here, but I encourage you to read it and reflect thereon. All 5 verses, too — there’s some excellent food for the soul that doesn’t appear in most of our hymnals.
