Robert Robinson penned the words at age 22 in the year 1757.[1] {{quote box| align = right | fontsize= 95% | width = 20em | quote = Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Teach me some melodious sonnet, Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it, Sorrowing I shall be in spirit, Yet from what I do inherit, Here I raise my Ebenezer; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Jesus sought me when a stranger, He, to rescue me from danger, How His kindness yet pursues me Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me O to grace how great a debtor Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, O that day when freed from sinning, Clothèd then in blood washed linen Come, my Lord, no longer tarry, Send thine angels now to carry The original text[2] of the hymn "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" }} TunesIn the United States, the hymn is usually set to an American folk tune known as "Nettleton", composed by printer John Wyeth,[3] or possibly by Asahel Nettleton.[4] In the United Kingdom, the hymn is also often set to the tune "Normandy" by C Bost.[5] The "Nettleton" tune is used extensively in partial or full quotation by the American composer Charles Ives, in such works as the First String Quartet and the piano quintet and song "The Innate". The "Nettleton" tune is also quoted at the end of "My Trundle Bed" by Tullius C. O'Kane. A shape note song called "Warrenton" also has been sung with a chorus being in 4/4 time or 2/2 cut time; to fit the text to this melody, the second half of each verse is omitted and replaced with a refrain of "I am bound for the kingdom, will you come to glory with me? / Hallelujah, praise the Lord!"[6] Recordings
TextThe lyrics, which dwell on the theme of divine grace, are based on 1 Samuel 7:12, in which the prophet Samuel raises a stone as a monument, saying, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us" (KJV). The English transliteration of the name Samuel gives to the stone is Ebenezer, meaning Stone of Help. The unusual word Ebenezer commonly appears in hymnal presentations of the lyrics (verse 2). Various revised versions appear in hymnals, often changing phrases or replacing the reference to Ebenezer.[7] [8] The version in Nazarene hymnals and those of the Holiness movement replaces "wandering" with "yielded," and "prone to wander" with "let me know Thee in Thy fullness". Many choirs, including the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, sing it in an arrangement by Mack Wilberg. It splits verse 2 into two parts and the last half of verse 3 is appended to each part to form two verses. A version titled "O Thou Fount of Every Blessing" and attributed to Robert Robinson is found in several shape-note hymnals of the American South. The melody is attributed to A. Nettleton, while several phrases are changed.
