Capo 3
INTRO Em D/F# G B/G C D G
G D
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
C D G
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
G D
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
C D G
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Em C
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Em C
Sung by flaming tongues above.
G D
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it,
C D Em D/F# G B/G C D G
Mount of thy redeeming love.
Here I raise mine 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
?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.
