[Faith-talk] Fanny Crosby Question for Faith Talk

[Joshua Lester]

She wrote an autobiography, but that was the only book I'm familiar with.
She also wrote hymns, such as "Blessed Assurance," "Pass me Not," "I
am Thine, O Lord," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," etc.
While we're on the subject of hymns, who wrote this one?
"I know whom, I have believed.
I am persuaded, that he is able
to keep that which I've committed, unto him against that day."
This is my favorite hymn.
Thanks, Joshua
