Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace,
Streams of mercy never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise;

(Chorus)


Come, thou Fount of ev'ry Blessing,, Stanza 1, Lines 1, 2, 3, & 4
Chorus
Lord, revive us, O revive us,
All our help must come from Thee.

Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount--O fix me on it--
Mount of God's unchanging love.

(Chorus)


Come, thou Fount of ev'ry Blessing,, Stanza 1, Lines 5, 6, 7, & 8

O 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.

(Chorus)


Come, thou Fount of ev'ry Blessing,, Stanza 3, Lines 1, 2, 3, & 4
