Ebenezer by James P. Carrell — Lyrics
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!

About Ebenezer
James P. Carrell’s anthem Ebenezer is a sacred setting of a familiar hymn text. Written for STB or TrTB choir, it draws on the tradition of American hymnody, offering a heartfelt expression of gratitude for divine providence and salvation. The text, reflecting on God's guidance and the sacrifice of Jesus, is conveyed with earnest sincerity. Carrell's music likely emphasizes the devotional message, making it a suitable choice for services where a congregational hymn is expanded into a choral offering. The piece invites reflection on God's constant faithfulness and the journey of faith, culminating in a declaration of unwavering commitment.
