Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;

Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
G Asus4 D
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Bm F#m
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Bm G
Sung by flaming tongues above;

Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,

Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Here I raise my "Ebenezer";
G Asus4 D
Hither by Thy help I'm come;

And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
G Asus4 D
Safely to arrive at home.
Bm F#m
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Bm G
Wandering from the fold of God;
D Asus4
He, to rescue me from danger,
G Asus4 D
Interposed His precious blood.
D Asus4
Oh, to grace how great a debtor,
G Asus4 D
Daily I'm constrained to be!
D Asus4
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
G Asus4 D
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee.
Bm F#m
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,

Prone to leave the God I love;
D Asus4
Here's my heart, Oh, take and seal it,
G Asus4 Bm
Seal it for Thy courts above.
ENDING:
D Asus4
Here's my heart, Oh, take and seal it,

Seal it for Thy courts above.

Name of Thy redeeming love
Sorrow I shall have in spirit,
Till released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do inherit,
Here Thy praises I’ll begin;
Here I raise my praises ever;
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;
How His kindness yet pursues me
Mortal tongue can never tell,
Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me
I cannot proclaim it well.
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.
O that day when freed from sinning,
I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clo-thed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day.

Also, this is the most simple structure possible and it's basically all downstrokes. I
tab any in-between strumming, so when you actually play it you'll want to add some strums
fills between some of the turn-arounds.

And here are the full lyrics so you can sing along:
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
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.
