EDITORS COMMENTS
Fanny Crosby: A Blind Poetess Who Brought Faith and Music to Millions This evocative portrait captures Fanny Crosby (1820-1915), a remarkable American hymn writer whose extraordinary life and faith-filled lyrics continue to inspire generations. Born in New York City in 1820, Fanny lost her sight at the age of six weeks due to a botched medical treatment. Despite her blindness, she demonstrated an exceptional aptitude for learning, memorizing entire books and mastering multiple languages. At the age of 14, Fanny began writing poetry, and her gift for composing profound and moving verses soon caught the attention of the Rev. L.W. Bevans, who set some of her poems to music. Over the next seven decades, Fanny wrote more than 8,000 hymns, many of which remain popular in Christian worship today. Some of her most famous hymns include 'Blessed Assurance,' 'To God Be the Glory,' and 'Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior.' Fanny's deep connection to her faith and her unwavering belief in God's presence guided her through a life filled with challenges. She faced numerous hardships, including the death of her husband and the loss of her only child, but she continued to write hymns that brought comfort and solace to countless people. Fanny Crosby's legacy extends far beyond the realm of hymnody. Her life story is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the human spirit. This portrait, taken during her later years, captures the wisdom and serenity that emanated from her, making it a fitting tribute to a woman who brought joy, hope, and inspiration to millions through her music.
