Shouldn't FOUNDATION be FOUNTAIN

It certainly seems to me that the PDF of a tune accompanying The Fountain of Christ should be titled FOUNTAIN, not FOUNDATION. There's no clue where it came from (it looks somewhat like a Cyber Hymnal PDF, but I don't think it is), the tune is essentially the same as what Holyoke calls FOUNTAIN in The Christian Harmonistand none of the instances mention any other tune nor are there any other instances of that tune with other texts. I also think if I had my druthers the text authority would have the "Aſſiſt me to sing" variant rather than the "Lord help us" one. But that's just me.

Yes, Thank you. The score is from "The Christian Harmonist" and the tune title should be FOUNTAIN. It has been corrected. Both the oldest text in our collection and the newest text have '"Assist me to sing." But there are other versions that have "Lord help us" found under "All representative texts."
