Come Thou Fount-basic


VERSE 1

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


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


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


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