About Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Words: Robert Robinson (1758)

Tune: "Nettleton", from Wyeth's Repository of Sacred Music, Part Second (1813)

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing has words by Robert Robinson, who wrote them in his early twenties; his own list of his writings dates the hymn to 1758. Its tune, Nettleton, has its earliest known printing in John Wyeth's Repository of Sacred Music, Part Second, in 1813. It is named after the preacher Asahel Nettleton, and some books credit him with it, but who wrote it is not known. Our arrangement is read from the four parts The Methodist Hymnal printed in 1905, in E-flat. This is the first verse for 2 to 4 singers, bright and lilting in three, every line one breath.
