Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Thanksgiving and Christmas are the topic of discussion on The Christmas Show of My Merry Christmas [https://mymerrychristmas.com/x/the-christmas-show/]. In this segment we explore the Thanksgiving anthem that has become a favored song of Thanksgiving, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, which we feature in this episode. The great and beautiful rendition we share comes from Broken Bow Music. Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing is a 300-year old song, familiar in the ancient Christian world. The hymn has an amazing backstory that we tell in this episode. Here are the lyrics to this song of Thanksgiving; 1Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry 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; 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, Wand’ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood. Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wand’ring 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.

The Legend of Ricky Bland

Is it possible to have a Christmas song that is famous and yet unknown? That is, in essence, the Legend of Ricky Bland. In this musical episode we tell the story of Ricky, his miserable Christmas, and the Christmas song from 1987 that you may have heard then but you have not heard since. Ricky is the epitome of the one-hit Christmas wonder. We bill it as the Most Depressing Christmas song of all time. For you, well, it may just rock.
