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