Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing: The Story Behind the Great Hymns is a cinematic historical short exploring the life, sorrow, conviction, and grace behind one of the most beloved hymns in Christian history.
Directed and voiced by James Kitazaki, the film follows Robert Robinson, the troubled young man who would one day pen Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. From youthful rebellion and mockery of street preachers, to deep spiritual conviction, public ministry, love, wandering, regret, and the haunting return of his own hymn, this story traces the long ache of a soul pursued by mercy.
Through richly composed period imagery, narration, and sacred atmosphere, the film reflects on the meaning of grace for those who have strayed, suffered, and longed to return. The hymn’s famous lines become more than words on a page. They become the cry of a wandering heart: “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it.”
At its center is the enduring truth that the streams of mercy are still flowing.
Director / Narrator: James Kitazaki
