A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Fanny Crosby's Life Story

All over this country, and, one might say, the world, Fanny Crosby's hymns are singing themselves into the hearts and souls of the people. They have been doing this for many years, and will do so as long as our civilization lasts. There are to-day used in religious meetings, more of her inspired lines, than of any other poet, living or dead. Not only those hymns with which she is credited in the singing - books, but thousands of others, have come from her heart and mind; for she has written, not only under her own name, but several nom-de plumes. Her sacred lyrics have been translated into several languages. She is easily the greatest living writer of hymns, and will always occupy a high place among authors.
