Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

I saw a pin on Pinterest with a quote from one of my favorite hymns.
This song is so beautiful not only because of the melody, but also the words.
There are some songs that I grew up singing in church that even though they are a little "old school", I still love to sing them. The words just speak to me and I feel closest to God when singing in church with other believers.

Here are the lyrics to this hymn:
       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 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.
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.
What are some of your favorite hymns?
