Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
I love this. Sufjan singing one of the world's prettiest hymns.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

you and I come from the same mold. this is awesome.
my 2nd favorite-ever version of my absolute favorite hymn. only the motab outdoes sufjan. his version of holy holy holy is also a major keeper.
even though it's not a christmas song...my husband and i reserve this version for listening to at christmas over and over again. we love it. also, he's amazing live. always a show.
This is beautiful! Thanks for posting.
so COOL.
hum this to my baby each night! love this song, but have never heard it from anyone but the motab. :) love this!
And, Gabby, I have a photographic book of Nick Brandt's - On This Earth - with many of these beautiful animal pictures.
I had been trying to remember this song -- we heard it on Prarie Home Companion Saturday. I love that same portion you quoted. Thank you!
This is quite possibly my favorite hymn and I absolutely love Sufjan Stevens. Thanks for sharing!!! :)
thanks a million for sharing...I reposted over at my blog. I love this song.
Love this Hymn. :) Thanks for Posting!
My favorite hymn (why oh why wasn't it included in the green hymnals?). Are you equally in love with Sufjan's Christmas carols? We listen to many of them year round.
My daughter and I loved this. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful images and beautiful music.
my favorite hymn and one of my favorite singers - what a great combo!!
My favorite hymn the world over.
hands down my favorite hymn ever. ever. the byu choir did a most lovely version several years ago. I'm quite taken with this one though.
ps: enoch train does a lovely instrumental version
Just what I needed to start my last morning of temporary-single parenthood
That's my favorite hymn of all time. It was interesting seeing it with the safari images. Very beautiful!
H-m-m... Seems as though Robert Robinson's "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is a favourite of quite a few folks. Great hymn. And the story behind the words you quote is quite amazing. I invite you to check in out on my Wordwise Hymns blog for June 9th. (You can also add the hymn to my Favourite Hymn Poll there.
