Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing

Robert Robinson


Tom: G

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


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


[Verse 3]
     G                 D
O to grace how great a debtor
G     C       D          G
Daily I'm constrained to be!
        G               D
Let thy goodness like a fetter,
G       C         D        G
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
         Em              G
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
         Em        D     G
Prone to leave the God I love;
D         G                 D
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
G       C       D       G
Seal it for Thy courts above.


[Verse 4]
         G                   D
On that day when freed from sinning
G        C       D      G
I shall see thy lovely face
         G                    D
full arrayed in blood-washed linen
G        C         D         G
how I'll sing thy sovereign grace
          Em             G
come, my lord, no longer tarry
          Em       D   G
Bring thy promises to pass
D     G                   D
For I know thy pow'r will keep me
G        C         D       G
Till I'm home with thee at last


[Ending]
Softly or a capella

         G                   D
On that day when freed from sinning
G        C       D      G
I shall see thy lovely face
