Here I Raise My Ebenezer: The Inspiration for ‘Come Thou Fount’
The meaning of Ebenezer originates more than a thousand years before Christ, during the ministry of the prophet Samuel, who played a pivotal role at a key juncture in the history of God’s people. Long has he been remembered as one of Israel’s greatest figures, alongside names like Moses (Psalm 99:6; Jeremiah 15:1) and David (Hebrews 11:32). God raised up Samuel as the first prophet (Acts 3:24) after the tragic period of the judges (Acts 13:20) to serve as God’s instrument to establish …

Here I Raise My Ebenezer! – Apologetics Press
When Robinson wrote his lyrics, he followed the word Ebenezer with the phrase, Here by Thy great help I’ve come. An Ebenezer, then, is simply a monumental stone set up to signify the great help that God granted the one raising the stone. In Robinson’s poem, it figuratively meant that the writer—and all who subsequently sing the song—acknowledge God’s bountiful blessings and help in their lives.

Everything else in this hymn made sense except raising my Ebenezer. The answer to my question came from the Word of God, and after gaining an understanding of this, I rejoice in raising my Ebenezer! The Stone of Help. I found the answer to my question in 1 Samuel 7. It is here we see Samuel serving as Israel’s prophet and final judge. The Israelites had been in battle with the Philistines prior to this time, and they would soon find themselves in yet another predicament with them.

However, they were defeated, and the Ark was captured by the Philistines. In chapters 6-7, the Ark is returned to the Israelites, they repent of their sin and turn back to the Lord. In 1 Samuel 7:12, Samuel takes a stone and sets it up as a monument. He names it Ebenezer, which means Thus far the Lord has helped us. It was to remind the Children of Israel that, though they had lost their way, they were not lost. God remained faithful and eventually the Israelites found …

After the Israelites won a great victory over the Philistines in 1 Samuel 7, Samuel set up a huge boulder as a marker of God’s divine intervention. He called it Ebenezer, meaning something like God has helped us every step of the way, and this victory comes from his hand. To raise an Ebenezer means to remember God’s goodness. There is no better time than the end of a year to declare what the Lord has done for you.

Mouw explained his fondness this way: In that ceremony, Samuel was both looking to the past and to the future. As he considered what had happened in …

It is in the Old Testament that we gain further understanding of what it means to raise my Ebenezer. In 1 Samuel 7 we read that the Israelites were under attack by the Philistines. Outnumbered and in fear for their lives, they pled with the prophet Samuel to pray for God’s help. Samuel offered a sacrifice and prayed for protection. In response the Lord smote the Philistines, and they retreated to their territory. This victory is recorded in verse 12: Then Samuel took a …
