Nobody sings all 4 verses. Ever. We used to joke that the loneliest thing on Earth is the third verse in a Baptist hymnal, but EVERYONE leaves out this wonderfully inspired verse: “On that day when freed from sinning I shall see thy lovely face; Clothed in the blood washed linen how I’ll sing thy wondrous praise. Oh my Lord no longer tarry, take my ransomed soul away. Send thine angels now to carry me to realms of endless day.” I’ve been told that this verse is morbid, but I believe that this is a very real facet of our blessed hope.

One of my Daddy’s favorite songs. I can’t tell your how many times I heard him sing this as he worked. He especially loved the verse that says, “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.”

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
Here there by Thy great 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
Interposed His precious blood

Oh, that day when freed from sinning

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let that 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

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

Ebenezer is a Hebrew word that means "stone of help". It comes from the words eben, which means "stone", and ezer, which means "help". In the Bible, the Hebrew prophet Samuel names a place "Ebenezer" in the Book of 1 Samuel to commemorate God's help to the Israelites in their victory over the Philistines at Mizpah. Samuel wanted the people to remember how God had come to their rescue when they were vulnerable and didn't deserve it.
