  I looked it up this morning for the same reason. I too love "Come Thou Fount," and always wonder what Ebenezer is doing in there. Today over breakfast I was listening to Sufjan Steven's Christmas EPs, which contain a version of "Come Thou Fount," so I remembered to look it up.

  I love folk songs, and one of my favorites is the old American hymn "Come thou fount of every blessing." In some versions one line is "Here I'll raise my songs and praises," presumably to make the song more comprehensible. But in another version it's "Here I'll raise my Ebenezer," which always baffled me. (Gee, no, I never looked it up.) Thanks for this entry!
