Fanny Crosby: Legendary Methodist Hymn Writer

You've probably sung "Blessed Assurance," one of more than 8,000 hymns penned by a blind, musical visionary. Fanny Crosby’s songs are favorites in the United Methodist Hymnal and the life story of this 19th century poet is as inspiring as the words we sing today.
