The grave of Fanny Crosby, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, has a simple marker that reads, “Aunt Fanny — She Hath Done What She Could.”
Fanny Crosby was blind from six weeks of age because of a mistreatment by a man claiming to be a doctor. Yet God used her to write more than 9000 hymns such as: “Blessed Assurance; All The Way My Saviour Leads Me; I Am Thine O Lord; Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross; Praise Him, Praise Him; Rescue The Perishing; To God Be The Glory;” and “Tell Me The Story Of Jesus,” to name a few.
Although blind, she was the guest of six presidents and a personal friend to Grover Cleveland. Her 9000 hymns were to set to music by every popular American tunesmith of the nineteenth century and still bless the Church today.
