Song Meaning of “Come Thou Fount” by Philip Wesley
This beloved and classic American hymn is a song of faith and devotion, celebrating God’s tender mercy, and the faithfulness He shows us. The lyrics express a desire to direct all of our praise and love to Him, and to turn away from our own will. In the chorus, the singer implores God to be their guide, and to lead them in the right path. The song is a reminder to believers to renew their dedication to God and to rely on Him for strength. As it says, “O to grace how great a debtor/daily I’m constrained to be” – as believers, we know that all of our strength comes from Him, and that we owe Him a debt we can never repay. The song is a prayer asking Him to bind our wandering hearts to Him, and to never let us stray away.
