_______________ Tell others about Jesus like Fanny Crosby did: Though we are not all called to a Christian Music ministry, we are all called by God to share our faith (witness) with those who are not Christians. Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). _________________ © 1995 by Barbour Publishing, Inc.

Author: Bernard Ruffin The scars on her eyes meant that Fanny Crosby would not see as others did. ...author of over 2,000 beloved hymns... The Rocky soil of Putnam County, New York, was good for little farming, yet many Puritan families eked out a living there, buoyed by their extended families and their Christian faith. Into such a family was Francis Jane--"Fanny"--Crosby born on March 24, 1820. "Blessed Assurance" The eyes of Fanny Crosby displayed the scars of an incompetent medical treatment, one that would render her sightless for life. Yet the light that illuminated this brave girl's soul was destined to electrify generations to come. "To God Be the Glory" While her father would be laid to rest in an unmarked grave, Fanny Crosby, the author of over 2,000 beloved hymns, would be forever eulogized--in her own words--by "Blessed Assurance," "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross," "All the way My Saviour Leads Me, "Sweet Hour of Prayer," and "To God Be the Glory." ________________________________ Have you received Christ as your Lord and Saviour?
