Melodious Sonnet

by

It has been a while since i’ve awoken with a tune running through my head. And really, it was only a very small snippet and I couldn’t remember much beyond “teach me some melodious sonnet.” No title, no other words. Very odd. But good old Google found the hymn for me this morning: ‘Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing’. I really enjoyed listening to part of it as sung by Jadon Lavik that I found on YouTube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDYKZnf-eYY (or you can listen to it on Jadon’s MySpace page if you so desire – http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.artistalbums&artistid=6937508&ap=1&albumid=9645204&songid=26091180)

Here is the first verse of the original, as composed by Robert Robinson –
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 his Name, I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Still, why, God, those words for me this morning? Ah, the day is young and perhaps He will reveal for me His desire.
