We're exploring five favorite hymns this week, digging into their lyrics and the biblical truths they contain while recommending the best versions of each song.

• Second in our hymn series: "Come Thou Fount," written in 1758 by Robert Robinson at just 22 years old
• Robinson became a Christian at 20 after hearing George Whitefield preach
• Shane and Shane's rendition on their Hymns Live album (2019) stands out as the definitive version
• The Ebenezer reference comes from 1 Samuel 7, where Samuel set up a stone commemorating God's help
• The line "prone to wander" acknowledges our human tendency to stray from God
• Ephesians 1:13 reminds us that God seals our hearts when we give them to Him
• Salvation comes through grace by faith, not through works (Ephesians 2:8)

Join us tomorrow as we continue our exploration of classic hymns and their spiritual significance.
