Description
Though she become blind at six weeks of age through improper medical treatment, Fanny Crosby wrote more than eight thousand gospel song texts in her lifetime of ninety-five years. Her many favorites such as "Blessed Assurance" have been an important part of evangelical worship for the past century.
The music was composed by Mrs. Joseph (Phoebe) Knapp), who was an amateur musician, the daughter of a noted Methodist evangelist, and a close personal friend and often visited Fanny in her New York home.
