Methodist Saint,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Safe in the Arms of Jesus: Biography of Fanny Crosby (Paperback)
Although Protestant, she is known as the "Methodist Saint" who was famous in her day as a great hymmal poet ("Pass me not, O gentle Savior", "Safe in the Arms of Jesus", "The Blood Washed Thong") and as a great Christian.
Blind since childhood, she longed for "the crystal streams of literature" and later expressed her faith and personal relationship with Jesus ("floodtide of celestial light") through her "song-theology." "That some of my hymms have been dictated by the blessed Holy Spirit, I have no doubt," she said. Though blind she wrote such line as: "The winds a carol murmur, soft and low, While silver stars, that gem the arch of night" Active and vital to her ninties--"when I look down the avenue of these ninety years..."--she donated most of her royalties from her books to the needy and the blind. Her songs are well-known staples of churches and devotionals today. |
