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 .
