"To God be the Glory"

I cannot read this passage in Romans without singing in my head "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow."   Psalm 136 caused me to think of how God has acted  in my life and give thanks to the Almighty.

Tomorrow is the 97th anniversary of the death of Fanny Crosby, the author of "Blessed assurance" and approximately 8000 other hymns (though not "At the name of Jesus"). Fanny was blind from a tiny baby yet she wrote such powerful and thankful prayers.

"To God be the Glory" wrote Fanny. 

Let us do that too.

Souces for Fanny Crosby
