Come, Thou Fount — A Hymn About Grace That Holds Us

Grace is not only how faith begins — it is how faith continues. “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” is a hymn that names both truths at once: God’s generosity and our tendency to wander. It is neither triumphant nor sentimental. It is honest — and that honesty is why it endures. The hymn was written in 1758 by Robert Robinson, whose words give voice to gratitude shaped by dependence. The traditional tune NETTLETON has carried this prayer across centuries, reminding the church that faith is sustained by grace, not willpower. This rendition is offered with restraint and clarity — a space to remember, to return, and to ask again for the grace that holds us. Original hymn: Lyrics by Robert Robinson (1758) Tune: NETTLETON (traditional American folk melody) “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it — prone to leave the God I love.” Let the song breathe. Let grace do its work. #motivation #inspiration #christianmusic #christian #worship
