Summary

For most, the hymns of Fanny Crosby are as familiar and sweet as the memories of a summer prayer meeting with evening breezes rustling through the sanctuary. The simple mention of one of her hymn titles brings rushing back the song in all its entirety, lyrics, music and all. And suddenly, surprisingly, the songs find voice, for her songs demand to be sung!
