Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing John Weyeth 1770-1858
Hymn adapted for contemporary Christian service
E A E
Come Thou Fount of every blessing,
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 E
Sung by flaming tongues above;
A E
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
E D E A
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Verse 2
________________________________________
A E
Here I raise my "Ebenezer";
D E A
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
A E
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
E D E A
Safely to ar-rive at home.
A D A
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
A D E
Wandering from the fold of God;
A E
He, to rescue me from danger,
E D E A
Interposed His precious blood.
Verse 3
________________________________________
A E
Oh, to grace how great a debtor,
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 E
Prone to leave the God I love;
A E
Here's my heart, Oh, take and seal it,
E D E A
Seal it for Thy courts a-bove.
