Fanny Crosby was an American hymn writer and poet who wrote over 8,000 hymns during her lifetime. She was born in Putnam County, New York in 1820 and was blind from infancy. She was a strong advocate for the blind and worked to improve educational opportunities for them. Following is our collection on famous quotes by Fanny Crosby on prayer, her blindness.
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 Saviour. — Fanny Crosby
Oh what a happy soul am I although I cannot see, I am resolved that in this world contented I shall be. How many blessings I enjoy that other people don't. To weep and sigh, because I'm blind? I cannot and I won't. — Fanny Crosby
Take the wold, but give me Jesus;
In His cross my trust shall be,
Till, with clearer, brighter vision
Face to face my Lord I see. — Fanny Crosby
Sometimes I need to reject the music proposed for my songs because the musicians misunderstand that the Fanny Crosby who once wrote for the people in the saloons has merely changed the lyrics. Oh my no. The church must never sing it's songs to the melodies of the world. — Fanny Crosby
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God. Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. — Fanny Crosby
Redeemed how I love to proclaim it. Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Redeemed thru His infinite mercy His child and forever I am. — Fanny Crosby
Angels descending bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. — Fanny Crosby
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. — Fanny Crosby
Can ye fathom the ocean, dark and deep, where the mighty waves and the grandeur sweep? — Fanny Crosby
The angel of mercy, the child of love, together had flown to the realms above. — Fanny Crosby
We are traveling on with our staff in hand... We are pilgrims bound for the heavenly land. — Fanny Crosby
It is not enough to have a song on your lips.
You must also have a song in your heart. — Fanny Crosby
Because when I get to heaven, the first face that shall ever gladden my sight will be that of my Savior. — Fanny Crosby
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. — Fanny Crosby
