"Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing"

I wish I could locate the version of "Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing" that is performed in the following Snap Judgment episode. https://soundcloud.com/snapjudgment/the-pastor-snap-judgment (This episode is well worth the listening. In it, "Come Thou Font Of Every Blessing" plays a central role in the story.)

This rendition by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is close, although I wish it remained a capella throughout.

Brigham Young University's Combined Choirs also do an excellent job but yet again the Mormons get carried away with puffy grandeur. (We are all mixed bags...)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUhU0HgTq94

Another more "modern" rendition by Chris Rice.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax_NMWLEb6U
