Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing Lyrics and Chords


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

Sorrow I shall have in spirit,
Till released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do inherit,
Here Thy praises I’ll begin;
Here I raise my praises ever;
Here by Thy great help I’ve 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;
How His kindness yet pursues me
Mortal tongue can never tell,
Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me
I cannot proclaim it well.

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

O that day when freed from sinning,
I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clo-thed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day.
