Introduction
Words: Fanny Crosby, in Hosanna for the Sunday School, edited by Alfred T. Schauffler (New York: Century Company, 1898), number 103. This source gives the author as J. C. French.
This is probably one of Fanny’s many pseudonyms—she is credited as the lyricist in all known subsequent publications of this song. We also note that Frances Jane Crosby
and J. C. French
have the same initials, in a different order.
Music: Hubert P. Main (🔊 pdf nwc).
