Blessed Assurance
– The Most Cherished Hope
At the age of eighty Fanny Crosby moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut, to live with her sister. There she increasingly thought of heaven and the blessings the Lord had in store for her. She anticipated for the first time having sight and expressed her most cherished hope in the confident refrain of one of her last hymns:
Some day this earthly house will fall,
And I no more as now shall see,
But this I know, my All in all,
Has now a place in heaven for me.
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story, saved by grace.
