Robert Robinson
Robert Robinson (1735-1790) was a sovereign grace preacher, author and hymn writer. He is best known for his invaluable research into the subject of baptism, the substance of which was published in the year 1790, after his death. He is also credited with the hymn, “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing”, though some argue it was composed by Lady Huntingdon. His friends, at the time of his death, believed he was hoping to publish several volumes on church history, but only his research on Baptism was compiled and set to print.

Come, Thou Fount
Romans 7:21-25: "I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."
