Fanny Crosby lost her sight as an infant. It is reported that her greatest regret was that she wouldn’t have a proper education.. Yet the world has been made rich because of her 8000 poems set to music. Gain through loss? What an example!It has been said that as a child she told her mother, “If I had a choice, I’d still choose to be blind. For when I die, the first face I’ll see is my Savior’s face.” She lived 94 years and 11 months.
One of her greatest contributions to the Christian world is “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 echos of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect subission all is at rest. I in my Savior are happy and blessed.
Watching and waiting, looking above, filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long.
