Yet another Ebenezer exciser

[edit]

I stumbled across a hymnal titled Hymns for the Family of God (© 1976 by Paragon Associates, Inc.) that features yet another version of the second verse:

This my glad commemoration, That 'til now I've safely come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed his precious blood.

The alteration is credited to a "Jeff Redd" and the copyright notice says "Second stanza © 1976 by Fred Bock Music Co." Is it worth putting in yet another entire lyrical listing just to mention that another version of the second verse exists? Octan (talk) 17:50, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Awful table

[edit]

The table use here is awful, and the new "1758" version certainly is not. Anybody mind if I fix (and delete)? 24.96.14.167 (talk) 04:07, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with me, the table is no blessing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:36, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Is it at all possible to limit this to the original and the most popular/used version, or must we have every variation someone came up with? Mannanan51 (talk) 02:16, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable source for “original” text with 5 verses?

[edit]

This article has a version of the hymn text with 5 verses, claimed to be the original version. Is there a reliable source for this being the original text, or that the original text had 5 verses?

A few sources online say that Come, Thou Fount was first published in 1759 in “A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the Church of Christ.” Hymnology Archive has scanned pages from that book, and the scan only shows 4 verses. ~Quelquesb (talk) 04:16, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
