Hymn Histories: Blessed Assurance and Fanny Crosby {Podcast}

Fanny Crosby wrote: “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. If I had a choice, I would still choose to remain blind … for when I die, the first face I will ever see will be the face of my blessed Savior.”
