Southeastern University Symphony Orchestra and Professor Ed Bryant Come, Thou Fount Music: Nettleton, Arr. Jason Thomas Aylward Lyrics: Robert Robinson
4
Come Thou Fount 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 God’s 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, wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, bought me with His precious blood. Oh, 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.

While living in the U.S., Pogu has shared her story with national news outlets and advocacy groups. Since enrolling at SEU in 2017, Pogu has earned her bachelor’s degree in legal studies with a minor in political science. She will be graduating with a master’s in human services administration.
