About the Hymn Praise Him Praise Him

Hymn writer: Fanny Crosby (1820-1915)

Year: 1869

Category: Hymn of Praise

Fanny Crosby's biography is one of the most amazing stories of any individual who made history. She wasn't born blind but by age 6, Fanny lost the light of her body to poor treatment when she fell sick and unfortunately taken to a bad physician. Every effort to restore her vision proved abortive. After several trials, a young girl who once could see accepted her fate to lead the rest of her life as a blind person. In her statement, she said:

"Oh, what a happy soul am I! Although I can not see, I have resolved that in this world, contented I will be."

Crosby was able to further her studies even as a blind person and later became a teacher at the New York Institute for the Blind. She worked in the school for two years from 1847-1858 teaching English grammar and American history.

Even as a teacher, Fanny Crowsby dedicated most of her life to writing Christian hymns and became one of the greatest hymn writers in American history and among the top women who have written most Christian hymns. 

Praise Him, Praise Him is not her only popular hymn. Hymns like Pass Me Not Oh Gentle Savior, I am Thine, I Lord, Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross, among others were also written by Fanny Crosby.
