There
is
wide
differences
of
opinion
about
when
Robert
Robinson
composed
the
hymn
"Come
Thy
Fount
of
Every
Blessing,"
of
which
the
above
third
verse
was
taken.
Some
claim
it
was
written
as
early
as
1758
and
others
in
1790,
and
still
others
1781.

J.
D.
Arnold
and
C.
F.
White
arranged
this
tnne
for
the
fourth
edition
of
the
Sacred
Harp
in
1869,
or
perhaps
at
an
earlier
date
than
this.
From
the
best
information
we
can
obtain
both
Arnold
and
White
are
dead.
