The hallmark of Fanny Mae Crosby's (1820-1915) multi-faceted and multi-talented life are these timely and inspiring hymns which are a delight to read or sing. They continue to edify and comfort over a century since they were first written. Miss Crosby believed in the power of gospel hymns to lift the individual to a higher plane of heartfelt divine significance. The "...hymns provided help, solace, and peace to millions" said Miss Crosby. Today they are still providing sweet communion to soothe the believer's heart.
