Come Thou Fount
(Intro: D A G A D…)
“Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, ‘Thus far
has the LORD helped us’.” --I Samuel 7:12
by Robert Robinson, 1758
(2X)
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
D A G A D
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
D A G D
(tacit)
Sung by flaming tongues above
D A G
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it,
D A G A D
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
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.
Oh 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, Oh take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
