HISTORY OF THE HYMN WRITERS

NAME : Fanny Crosby

Born: March 24, 1820, Putnam County , New York . Died: February 12, 1915, Bridgeport , Connecticut . Buried: Bridgeport , Connecticut . Fanny Crosby was probably the most prolific hymnist in history. Though blinded by an incompetent doctor at six weeks of age, she wrote over eight thousand hymns. About her blindness, she said: "It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dispensation. If perfect earthly sight were offered me tomorrow I would not accept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beautiful and interesting things about me." In her lifetime, Fanny Crosby was one of the best known women in the United States . To this day, the vast majority of American hymnals contain her work. When she died, her tombstone carried the words, Aunt Fanny and Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine. Eliza Hewitt memorialized Fanny's passing in a poem: Away to the country of sunshine and song, Our songbird has taken her flight, And she who has sung in the darkness so long Now sings in the beautiful light.

BLESSED ASSURANCE Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending, bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Saviour am happy and blest;

Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour all the day long. by Fanny J. Crosby
