I’ve often thought about this particular post, and for some reason I have had the Wyeth tune of “Come Thou Font of Every Blessing” as one of the alternate tunes. I am currently practicing this song to that tune to sing with three other brethren from our ward this Sunday, and the arrangement is just beautiful. We get chills during practice for the interesting harmonies, and a couple of key changes. May be the most beautiful tune I have ever sung in church. If only we could do a multimedia presentation with these pictures….

I’ve copied these onto my iPad and have set the first set as lock screen and wallpaper. I’ll cycle through the hymn as I change the settings.
I’ll take them off if you want me to. Please don’t “hack” my iPad.

In the late 1980s the Church Museum had a display of the original art and calligraphy. They also played as background all of the known tunes it had been sung to. Don Enders was the curator of this exhibit. Later, BYU has also had an exhibit of the originals. It appears the article was taken from the BYU exhibit.
