‘ Tis The Blessed Hour Of Prayer – Hymn Tune: Blessed Hour. This is another well known Hymn by the famous Blind Hymn writer, Fanny Crosby. This has to be on my top 100 of beloved Hymns. Fanny Crosby died at the age of 95 and left us with almost 100 Hymns to enjoy. She wrote a Poem which I want to share with you: Oh what a happy soul I am ! Although I cannot see, I am resolved that in this world Contented I will be. How many blessings I enjoy That other people don’t ! To weep and sigh because I’m blind, I cannot, and I won’t ! ** Please use your Headphones when listening to my video’s to hear the Spatial separation. Thank you for visiting. Lance ♫ ” He shall call upon me and I will answer Him…” Psalms 91:15 When i used to play the Organ for the elderely in Nursing Homes, this was one of the most often requested hymns. Fanny’s most famous Hym was: To God Be The Glory
“Tell Me the Story of Jesus” by Fanny J Crosby (hymns) 1880 1. Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. Tell how the angels in chorus, Sang as they welcomed His birth, Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth. * Refrain: Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard. 2. Fasting alone in the desert, Tell of the days that are past, How for our sins He was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last. Tell of the years of His labor, Tell of the sorrow He bore; He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected and poor. 3. Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, Writhing in anguish and pain; Tell of the grave where they laid Him, Tell how He liveth again. Love in that story so tender, Clearer than ever I see; Stay, let me weep while you whisper, Love paid the ransom for me.
“To God Be the Glory” Fanny J Crosby 1.To God be the glory, great things he hath done! So loved he the world that he gave us his Son, who yielded his life an atonement for sin, and opened the lifegate that all may go in. Refrain: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear his voice! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice! O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son, and give him the glory, great things he hath done! 2.O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, to every believer the promise of God; the vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives. (Refrain) 3.Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done, and great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son; but purer, and higher, and greater will be our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. (Refrain)
