Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing by Robert Robinson
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing is a Christian hymn whose text is traditionally dated to 1757 and credited to Robert Robinson, an English minister. The catalog preserves Robinson as the frozen artist, a reminder that his contribution is the words rather than the tune. The melody most often paired with the text in the United States is a traditional American tune first printed in the early nineteenth century, not a composition by Robinson. Hymn books have also set the words to other melodies, which is why the hymn can sound different across traditions. The catalog score is a piano-solo listing, but the selected score exposes no readable arrangement credits or provenance, so its community-arranger authorship remains a hold. The claim that its harmonization belongs to no historical tune book is likewise unverified.
