At times a gentle and reflective invitation, and at other times a lilting and penitent prayer, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing will be a congregational favorite. Interesting harmonies and expressive movement and dynamics allow the pianist to communicate the depth of the lyrics to the congregation.
The tune for this piece is NETTLETON.

Carolyn –
Come Thou Fount is a special favorite. My students seem to recognize this tune more than some of the others as I find their sacred song base is different from my Lutheran background as a church musician. I really like the intro section of Come Thou Fount, as it gives a good snippet of the tune and moves right into the main melody of the piece. The music is very indicative of the style of this song.
