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.
