Fanny Crosby

"Arise and Shine," lyrics by Mary A. Lathbury, music by P. P. Bliss -- "Saved by the Blood," lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, music by W. H. Doane -- "Anniversary Hymn," words by "one of our Sunday School Teachers," music by Julius E. Ward.

"Told in her own words, this book relates her story of a life characterized by great spiritual depth and profuse creativity. Her life was as remarkable as her writing. Blinded as an infant, Fanny Crosby began generating verses while still a young child. Her lifelong passion for God infused her lyrics with evangelistic zeal, pointing all, listeners and singers alike, to a loving and welcoming God. In the recollections, she offers the tender memories and gentles insights of a woman who lived her life not defined by limitations but bursting in creativity--all through God's love." -- Inside Cover
