Exploring the Depths of 'Come Thou Fount' and Its Theological Insights

We're exploring five favorite hymns this week, digging into their lyrics and the biblical truths they contain while recommending the best versions of each song.

• Second in our hymn series: "Come Thou Fount," written in 1758 by Robert Robinson at just 22 years old
• Robinson became a Christian at 20 after hearing George Whitefield preach
• Shane and Shane's rendition on their Hymns Live album (2019) stands out as the definitive version
• The Ebenezer reference comes from 1 Samuel 7, where Samuel set up a stone commemorating God's help
• The line "prone to wander" acknowledges our human tendency to stray from God
• Ephesians 1:13 reminds us that God seals our hearts when we give them to Him
• Salvation comes through grace by faith, not through works (Ephesians 2:8)

Join us tomorrow as we continue our exploration of classic hymns and their spiritual significance.
