Known as the "Queen of Gospel Song Writers", and as the "Mother of modern congregational singing in America", Fanny Crosby is one of America's best witers of hymns from the 19th Century. With most American hymnals containing her work, with the possible exception of Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley, Crosby has generally been represented by the largest number of hymns of any writer of the twentieth century in nonliturgical hymnals Her gospel songs were paradigmatic of all revival music, and Ira Sankey attributed the success of the Moody and Sankey evangelical campaigns largely to Crosby's hymns.

On October 10th, Integrity Music will pay tribute to Crosby as artists such as Darlene Zschech, Paul Baloche, Ricky Skaggs, Blind Boys of Alabama, Michael W. Smith and others will offer new renditions of Crosby's hymns.  So keep your eyes out for Blessed Assurance: The New Hymns of Fanny Crosby.
