Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

The beautiful hymn by Robert Robinson, this time sung to the tune Hyfrydol.

I did both voices, the melody and the bass part. Can you work out which is the one I'm singing on the video?

An interesting story about this hymn, courtesy of cyberhymnal.org where I also got the midi (this is allowed by them, by the way, as long as you credit, which I am doing)

Robert Robinson had a difficult time with his faith in the latter part of his life, having been converted at 17 and having written this and other hymns as a young man. The story is told of how one day, he en­count­ered a wo­man who was stu­dy­ing a hymn­al, and she asked how he liked the hymn she was hum­ming. In tears, he re­plied, "Madam, I am the poor un­hap­py man who wrote that hymn ma­ny years ago, and I would give a thou­sand worlds, if I had them, to en­joy the feel­ings I had then."

If you're new to my videos, please subscribe. You'll find over 1100 videos about languages, philosophy, religion, travel, music by myself and others, readings from literature, cammed talk radio featuring talent like James Whale and Tommy Boyd - many things. The travelogues have come to you from 30+ countries of the world. You will find over a dozen comedic personas on this channel too, especially Professor Viktor Huliganov and his famous Russian course. You'll also find the Goldlist system - the language learning system which is used by thousands and has helped some people who never managed to be effective foreign language learners before.

1100+ videos is a lot to navigate, so there is a wordpress site http://www.huliganov.tv to find my videos more easily under various thematic headings. If discussion is getting difficult to thread in a YT setting, why not find the film on Huliganov.tv and kick off the discussion there? It will thread properly and there is no word limit. Please subscribe and link to that blog, too - it will contain things that are not here.

A few words about how I do things - you'll notice that I do not like to disable comments or ratings, I rarely block or censor commentors, even those who are insulting towards me, but I do sometimes block things said which insult other people in the videos). I usually accept video responses, I always enable ratings, even when the rating doesn't look flattering. I rarely take material down.

I simply don't understand why some content providers block the comments or the ratings - to me this insults the viewers and makes the whole experience of watching their videos poorer. I do everything to put your liberty at a premium - all videos of mine are open for embedding and syndication. Please rate, comment, subscribe, favorite, embed, and let the world know if you liked anything.

I never ask or allow donations or payment for any of the courses or the Goldlist or any help that people get from this. If you see anyone selling my content or my ideas, please let me know and I will be on their backs to keep it free for you. In the future there may be paper books of some things and they will also be as low margin as I can possibly get them. I do have an Amazon associate store on http://oioioio.com .

I may not have time to be very helpful if you ask me your question one-to-one. I reserve the right to use such questions for video answers unless explictly asked not to. Probably your question would benefit others to, and so I would prefer to answer it either in a public forum or on a video. I'm delighted when one viewer to my stiff helps the other viewer with his question. The above does not apply to spiritual guidance, which would be given in confidence if requested.

I do accept friend requests. I don't do sub for sub, but I will sub if I like it, otherwise not. I never forge comment or hits or use artificial number driving techniques. My stats are real because I want to know the truth.

Anyone wishing to return me a favour for any of the entertainment you have - please put me in the frame if you know anyone looking for an accountant or auditor, lawyer or tax advisor in East Europe. My business blog is http://www.quoracy.com

I'm afraid the software isn't recognising your alphabet encoding. It may not be a federation code...
