Be Devout!!!

1. 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. 

2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer; 
 hither by thy help I'm 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. 

3. O 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, O take and seal it, 
 seal it for thy courts above. 

My companion, Elder Horner, and I decided to sing

this musical piece today for a meeting that we

had with all the other missionaries. I was really 

paying attention to all of the lyrics and there was 

one line that really stood out to me.... Which one 

Speaks to you??? 

Well the one that hit home for me

is the line that reads, "Take my heart, O take and

seal it, seal it for thy courts above." I love these 

words! What greater gift can we give God then to give 

him our will, and heart. I know that if we can really 

apply this song to our lives we will one day live 

with him again. What an amazing day that will be. 

We all may have those days' that we feel that line,  

"Prone to wonder, Lord, I feel it, prone

to leave the God I love..." I know that I have felt this. 

And if you really focus on giving your whole heart to him

and ALWAYS remember him, you can overcome those

feelings. You are human, and so am I. I have found in my 

life that I can overcome all things in Christ! :) 

I am truly blessed to have this testimony!!
