The album was recorded in one session on Februat Reeves Sound Studio in New York City. Forty years later, depsite her instructions, her friends put up a large memorial stone that contained the first stanze of Blessed Assurance.That's My Story is a studio album by American blues musician John Lee Hooker, released in April or May 1960 on Riverside Records. At her request, a small gravestone was put there with the words "Aunt Fanny: she hath done what she could Fanny J. Crosby answered in an instant: "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!"įanny Crosby passed on in 1915. While visiting with her dear friend Phoebe Knapp, a musician who was a fellow resident of New York City and fellow member of the John Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Knapp played the melody two or three times for Crosby and asked what she felt the tune said. :)īlessed Assurance was a hymn where the tune preceded the lyrics. Julian is, 200 years later more people remember Fanny Crosby than remember John Julian.
An English hymnologist John Julian once remarked that her hymns were "with very few exceptions, very weak and poor". She wrote that she was the "happiest creature in all the land."Īs contemporaries often do to great artists, her work wasn't necessarily respected at the time.
There is where she finally knew she'd found her calling in life, generating about three hymns a week for the rest of her life. It wasn't until age 41 when she met the famous composer William Bradbury that she started writing hymns. At age 8 she wrote:Īt age 15, she entered the Institution for the Blind in New York where she continued to be a remarkable writer. While this may have destroyed other lives, Crosby maintained a cheerful optimism, while also developing a skill for poetry even at an early age. When she was only six weeks old, a doctor applied medicine to her eyes that destroyed her sight forever. She was the lyricist responsible for songs like All the Way My Savior Leads Me, Close to Thee, He Hideth My Soul, Draw Me Nearer, Jesus Is Calling, Near the Cross, Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior, Safe in the Arms of Jesus, Saved by Grace, To God Be the Glory, and over 8,000 others. You probably recognize her name from your hymnal. One woman who "saw" was a woman who was born about 50 years before her named Fanny Crosby. The story goes that once someone asked her, "Isn't it terrible to be blind?" to wihch she responded, "Better to be blind and see with your heart than to have two good eyes and see nothing." One of my favorite quotes comes from Helen Keller, the blind, deaf, and mute author, activist for the disabled, and lecturer.
