Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

The Mormon Church is part of the Christian Community. They have every right to sing this song.

A true Christian of any denomination promotes the Bible. A Mormon promotes Mormonism. Now go promote Nephi/Mosiah/Alma somewhere else and let us enjoy this incomparable CHRISTIAN hymn!

The Son is repeatedly CALLED the "Eternal Father" 1 Nephi 11:21, 13:40; Mosiah 16:15; Alma 11:37-38
behold the Lamb of God yea even the Eternal Father 1 Nephi 11:21
the Lamb of God IS the Eternal Father and the Saviour of the world 1 Nephi 13:40; Mosiah 16:15 and Alma 11:37-38
Joseph too was very definitely CONFUSED on who God is!

"God himself shall come down among the children of men and shall redeem his people & BECAUSE HE DWELLETH IN FLESH he shall be called the Son of God & having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father BEING the Father AND the Son The FATHER BECAUSE he was conceived by the power of God and the Son BECAUSE OF THE FLESH thus BECOMING the Father AND the Son" Mos 15:1
SAME PERSON

@Davidfourfour
Says nothing about "purpose" does it?
It says the "Father IS the Son"
It says the "Son IS the Father"

Thank you for sharing that story about this great hymn.

This has become one of my favorite Hymns. I really enjoyed your insights.

Stanza three seems to be a forecast of his later life, when he lapsed into sin. There is a well-known story of Robinson, riding a stagecoach with a lady who was deeply engrossed in a hymnbook. Seeking to encourage him, she asked him what he thought of the hymn she was humming. Robinson burst into tears and said, "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."

The statement in stanza two, "Here I raise my Ebenezer" refers to I Samuel 7:12, "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us." Ebenezer is the Hebrew for "Stone of Help." Israel had suffered defeat because of its sin. But the people had repented of their sin, God had helped them and they were victorious. Samuel placed the stone to remind Israel that God had them, their victory was because of Him.

Robert Robinson, following the tradition of ministers of the time, wrote "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" as a hymn-poem for the conclusion of his sermon for Whitsunday, 1758. He was 23 years old at the time. It was published the following year in A Collection of Hymns used by the Church of Christ in Angel Alley, Bishopsgate (1759).There has been some speculation that it was written by the Countess of Huntingdon, but it is generally agreed to be the work of Robinson.

These young people don't just sing this song -- they FEEL it!
