“Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing - Lead Sheet - Key of D Major” is a hymn lead sheet with melody, lyrics, and chord symbols. It is written in D major and 3/4 time, with a steady hymn melody and chord changes mainly built around D, A, A7, and G. The page includes three verses of text, giving the performer the melody and harmony while leaving the accompaniment style open for an improvised arrangement.

The pickup and measures 1–2 introduce the opening phrase of the hymn. The melody begins with a simple rising idea and moves through D, A, and back to D, establishing the main key clearly.

Measures 3–5 continue the first half of the hymn. The harmony moves through G, D, A7, and D, giving the phrase a clear dominant-to-tonic resolution before the next line begins.

Measures 6–8 begin the next phrase with the same calm hymn character. The chord symbols move from A back to D, then through G, D, A7, and D. This gives the middle of the hymn a balanced and familiar shape.

Measures 9–11 continue the second half of the melody. The phrase begins in G, returns to D, and uses the same steady rhythmic style found throughout the lead sheet.

Measures 12–16 form the closing section. The harmony moves through D, A7, D, A, D, G, D, A7, and finally D. This final line has a clear cadence and completes the hymn with a strong return to the home key.

Interesting fact: “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” is commonly sung to the tune NETTLETON. Hymnary lists Robert Robinson as the author of the text and John Wyeth as the composer connected with this tune.
