Frances “Fanny” J. Crosby was one of the most powerful hymn writers in the history of the church. It is hard to find a hymnal anywhere that does not contain at least one of her hymns. She is said to have written over 8,000 hymns and 1,000 poems in her life. She had a gift with words that allowed her to share her faith through beautiful and powerful lyrics. Her music moves the soul and lifts a person’s thoughts to heaven.
