In the 1750s, Robert Robinson was a teenaged rebel, living as far away from his Christian upbringing as possible. He led a gang of young men into a revival meeting led by George Whitefield for the sole purpose of heckling and making fun of the entire affair. Instead, he was sobered and white-faced by the words of the great man of God. After surrendering to the Christ he'd been mocking and running from, he became a pastor himself, truly gifted at speaking and preaching. Several years after that all-important revival meeting, he penned the words to "Come, Thou Fount." Join me as we learn more about the life of Robert Robinson, and the rich gift he left us in this hymn.
