Come Thou Fount-basic


VERSE 1

A                         E
Come Thou Fount of every blessing,
A       D         E        A  
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
A                        E
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
          D         E     A
Call for songs of loudest praise.
A         D              A
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
A        D               A
Sung by flaming tongues above;
A                       E
Praise the mount!  I'm fixed upon it,
A        D       E      A
Mount of Thy redeeming love.


VERSE 2:
A                    E 
Here I raise my "Ebenezer";
A       D      E        A
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
A                         E
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
        D   E        A
Safely to arrive at home.
A        D              A 
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
A         D                A 
Wandering from the fold of God;
A              E
He, to rescue me from danger,
A           D    E       A
Interposed His precious blood.


VERSE 3:
A                        E
Oh, to grace how great a debtor,
A      D    E            A
Daily I'm constrained to be!
A                        E 
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
         D        E         A
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee.
A        D              A  
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
A        D                A
Prone to leave the God I love;
A                              E 
Here's my heart, Oh, take and seal it,
A        D       E      A  
Seal it for Thy courts above.


ENDING:  
A                E            
Here's my heart, Oh, take and seal it,
A        D       E       A 
Seal it for Thy courts above.
