Listen from:
Fanny Crosby, who wrote so many beautiful Christian hymns, was blind. One day when she was over 90, she stood before an audience and sang the lines of one of her hymns:
Some day the silver cord will break,
And I no more as now shall sing;
But, oh, the joy when I shall wake
Within the palace of the King.
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story—saved by grace!
What particularly thrilled the audience was when the aged blind hymn writer emphasized the word see: “And I shall see Him face to face!”
