Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

 
“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

 

Robert Robinson’s father passed away when he was a young man and his mother could not control him, so she sent him to London to learn the trade of barbering. Instead, he found himself in a gang, drinking and causing all sorts of trouble. One night after they had been drinking for a while, he suggested that they go to the tent meetings being held by George Whitefield and heckle him while he preached.

But once he heard the voice of this great preacher, he immediately sobered up. The words of his message haunted him for nearly 3 years until he gave his heart to the Lord on Dec. 10, 1755. He soon entered the ministry and at the age of 23, he wrote this hymn for his sermon on Pentecost Sunday. It was his prayer that the Holy Spirit would flood into our hearts with streams of mercy, enabling us to sing praises to God and remain faithful to Him.

 

Seize the moment today to sing the words of this song “Come Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace, Streams of mercy, never ceasing, calls for songs of loudest praise.”
