    In 1 Samuel chapter 7, the Israelites were under attack by the Philistines. Fearing for their lives they went to the prophet Samuel who pray to God for help. When the Philistines retreated to their own territory, Samuel “took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.” This word, Ebenezer, means "stone of help," and was a reminder of what the Lord had done for them. "Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it, mount of thy redeeming love."
    We hope you enjoy our a cappella version of Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.

    I am in the hospital with my mom, it's been a total of 5 weeks today. I went to the chapel last night feeling pretty low and alone and begging the Lord to give us a miracle again. After a great deal of praying, I picked up the hymnal and it opened to this song. When the alert came that you had just released it on here, it touched me deeply. God is in control and we are certainly blessed. BTW: Mom has made improvement since last night. Praise God!

    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
    I shall see Thy lovely face
    Clothed then in the blood washed linen
    How I'll sing Thy wondrous grace
    Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
    Take my ransomed soul away
    Send Thine angels now to carry
    Me to realms of endless day
    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

    I have always loved your music, and the last several days have been severely depressed. tonight I started listening to music again and came across this song and it made my heart feel joy and hope. I no longer feel as God has abandoned me. and that eventually our situation will improve and we will no longer be homeless and cold

      My dear sister warrior. It sounds like things are extremely rough right now. I've been there. It will get better. Hold on tight. It took what felt like forever to get through my own dark hellish tunnel, but I emerged on the other side and now enjoy things in my life that I never thought would be possible. Just keep breathing. Feel your way through the darkness. One small step at a time. The only way to get through the dark terrible times is to hold onto the hope that after the darkness is the dawn. It's just over the horizon. You got this. Hold onto my hope till you find your own. I made a list of all the things I did to help me survive...I hope it helps. www.psychrecoveryandrehab.com/4-2/

    我要立石,以便以謝,蒙主幫助到如今;
    尚望恩主,一生導引,安抵天家蒙福蔭;
    我本失喪,遠離父家,耶穌親自來引路;
    恩主救我,免於危險,流出寶血洗罪污。
    ################
    浩大恩典,每日加添,主恩難報永虧欠;
    願主恩惠,如鏈相牽,繫我心與主相連;
    主我深知,內心軟弱,總是偏行走己路;
    獻我身心,求加烙印,與主同在蒙祝福。

      @@ChristinewithaC you are correct! Mormons are not Christians as they believe another gospel other than what was preached by Jesus.

    Nice, but too bad you can't control new age ads popping up before this.
