Verse 1
Come, Thou DFount of every Ablessing,
DTune my Gheart Dto sing AThy Dgrace;
Streams of Dmercy, never Aceasing,
DCall for Gsongs Dof loudAest Dpraise.
Teach me Dsome meGlodious sonDnet,
Sung by Bmflaming Gtongues AaDbove.
Praise the Dmount! I’m fixed upAon it,
DMount of GThy DredeemAing Dlove.
Verse 2
Here I Draise my EbenAezer;
DHere by GThy Dgreat help AI’ve Dcome;
And I Dhope, by Thy good Apleasure,
DSafely Gto Darrive Aat Dhome.
Jesus Dsought me Gwhen a stranDger,
Wandering Bmfrom the Gfold Aof DGod;
He, to Drescue me from Adanger,
DInterGposed DHis preAcious Dblood.
Verse 3
O to Dgrace how great a Adebtor
DDaily GI’m Dconstrained Ato Dbe!
Let Thy Dgoodness, like a Afetter,
DBind my GwanDdering heart Ato DThee.
Prone to Dwander, GLord, I feel Dit,
Prone to Bmleave the GGod AI Dlove;
Here’s my Dheart, O take and Aseal it,
DSeal it Gfor DThy courts AaDbove.
