LOSS OF EYESIGHT

Let me introduce you to a woman of God - Fanny Crosby.


Unless you are a Christian musician, or interested in hymns - you might never have heard of Fanny. She wrote over 8,000 hymns so many Christians would have known at least one or more of her most popular hymns.


WhaiAun


Though blind­ed by an in­com­pe­tent doc­tor at six weeks of age, she wrote ov­er 8,000 hymns. About her blind­ness, Fan­ny 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.

One of the most pro­lif­ic hym­nists in his­to­ry, in her life­time Fan­ny was one of the best known wo­men in the Unit­ed States. To this day, the vast ma­jo-ri­ty of Am­er­i­can hym­nals con­tain her work.
