Would Miss Crosby have written so many hymns that touch our hearts, had it not been for her loss of sight? Certainly, we know God works good out of tragic circumstances. Her blindness from infancy was a sad result of malpractice by a doctor. She sometimes recited these for visiting dignitaries. Previously, Fanny Crosby had written many poems while attending a school for the blind in New York City.
The congregation had been singing Isaac Watts’ hymn: At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light. She also wrote several other songs with the theme of the cross, after claiming Christ as her own Saviour in a church meeting in 1850, when she was thirty years old. She said the tune made her think of the opening line. Composer William Doane wrote the melody of this very familiar, very beloved hymn before Fanny Crosby penned the words.
