The story behind the tipnos, the story of the source hymn of eternal life,
the source of eternal life and every blessing. To exalt your tender grace
owes every heart, your inexhaustible piety, abundant in forgiving the only adorable glory
to you we must give the source hymn of eternal life. Written by English
author Robert Robinson in a thousand seven hundred and fifty- seven. He is
one of the most admired Christian chants worldwide. Although his spiritual message has moved
and encouraged the hearts of many evangelicals who have uttered his melodious words with meaning.
The beauty of this song stands out even more when the chain of events
associated with its origins is discovered and the transcendence it has achieved throughout its two
hundred and seventy years of history is explored. Robinson was born on September 27th
of a thousand seven hundred and thirty- five in the British city of Swatham,
within a poor Christian home. Like any family, their parents had high
aspirations for their son. Her mother’ s hope at Mary Walking was that
one day she could become a shepherd and preach God’ s word. However,
that possibility seemed to fade in a thousand seven hundred and forty, when
his father died unexpectedly. Then, with little money to survive, Wilking no
longer had the necessary reserves for Robert to go to school. After the death
of his father, Michael Robinson, Robert hesitated about his faith in Jesus Christ.
Then the emptiness left by his progenitor dragged him into a series of disagreements
that placed him away from Christianity. However, at the age of fourteen,
after receiving financial support from a family member, he left for London, where
he was employed as an apprentice by barber Joseph Anderson. It was at that
time that he showed a deep interest in reading and, after searching the scriptures,
he again trusted the Lord. In a thousand seven hundred and fifty-
two, three years after arriving in the capital of England, Robert Robinson went
unexpectedly to a spiritual revival meeting convened by a local council. However, the
holy spirit used George Whitfield’ s incisive preaching to completely change the direction of
his life. He wrote down the following in his diary. Born again on
the 24th of May by the powerful evangelization of George Withield, then over three
years and seven months, he would reaffirm his confidence in the creator. After
giving his life to the almighty event on December 10, seven hundred and fifty
- five, Robinson devoted himself to pastoral work and immediately began to share the
good news of the Most High. It was in those circumstances, while preparing
a sermon that Robinson wrote the source hymn of eternal life in a thousand seven
hundred and fifty- seven. The chant speaks of the grace of God and
s ns. It is based on Samuel’ s first seven hundred and twelve,
where the prophet Samuel erected a monument to mark the place where Jehovah helped
them to pursue the Philistines and called that place Ebenecer, which literally translates as
a helping stone. As a prolific writer, Robert Robinson had a long career
as a Christian missionary. In his more than thirty- four years in the
service of the Saviour. He led a church in Cambridge that brought together more
than a thousand followers of Jesus Christ. On the 9th of June, a
thousand and seven hundred and ninety, the Lord called this dedicated servant to meet
him, who left endless praises, among which was the source hymn of eternal life.
