COME THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING

Who wouldn’t want to be blessed? Different people view blessings, and blessed life, differently. For our meditation today, let us see what Robert Robinson has to say to us, about blessings, and blessed life, through his beautiful hymn, “COME THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING” written in 1758, at the age of twenty three.

The first four lines of the first stanza, goes thus…
Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

These four lines, even after 265 years of its writing, speak so much to us. Let us remember always, and never forget – Jesus is the fount of every blessing – God is the source and the supplier of every blessing. His blessing fall upon us by His unceasing mercy.

The very fact that, the LORD God Almighty cares for us, despite our wickedness, is the greatest of all blessings. If we come to this realisation, we would not desire anything else, as a blessing, in our lives. The fact that God is merciful towards us is, in itself, our greatest, and the only blessing, we would ever need. In it contains everything else, that we would ever need in our lives.

Therefore, let us join Robert Robinson, in singing “Tune my heart to sing Thy grace….Call for songs of loudest praise.” May these four lines be our anthem for our lives. May we be singing, praise and thanks, to the “FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING,” all the days of our lives.
