Description

The wild and antagonistic actions of young men are nothing new. When the reckless, young Robert Robinson heard the "prediction" of a drunken gypsy, it haunted him and eventually led him to commit himself to Jesus Christ. Later, he penned this spiritual autobiography, Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing, his most popular hymn. Even today, this hymn enjoys a great popularity. Many arrangements of it can be found, including those of well-known artists. It is soul-stirring and many versions cause our hearts to soar as we sing praise and worship to God for the blessing of salvation He has brought to our lives.
