Today I decide to take a look at someone that as far as musical circles go is known more for being a Southern Gospel writer than a hymn writer. Although what is probably considered his most popular song is found in a number of hymnals and is popular among Baptists and Pentecostals. The person I am talking about is the writer of “I’ll Fly Away,” Albert E. Brumley.

This week I take a look at Robert Robinson, the author of the hymn “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing,” and look at how this hymn seems to be either autobiographical or prophetic when looking at Robinson’s life.
