FANNY CROSBY, HYMNWRITER FOR THE AGE

Fanny J. Crosby, though blind, became the best-known hymn-writer of her generation, writing over 8,000 hymns and religious verses. Many were included in a very popular series of books entitled Gospel Hymns, which Ira Sankey compiled to use with Dwight L. Moody’s preaching campaigns. Some of Fanny Crosby’s hymns, like the ones from which the following selections are taken, remain in use in Protestant churches to this day.

from “All the Way My Saviour Leads Me”:

All the way my Saviour leads me;

Oh, the fullness of his love!

Perfect rest to me is promis’d In my Father’s house above.

When my spirit, cloth’d immortal,

Wings its flight to realms of day,

This my song thro’ endless ages: Jesus led me all the way.

from “Jesus is Tenderly Calling Thee Home”:

Jesus is tenderly calling thee home—

Calling today, calling today;

Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam

Farther and farther away?

Calling to day, Calling today,

Jesus is calling, is tenderly calling today.

from “Rescue the Perishing”:

Rescue the perishing, Duty demands it;

Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;

Back to the narrow way Patiently win them;

Tell the poor wand’rer a Saviour has died.

Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
