Trailblazers: Blind Girl's Song, The: Fanny Crosby

The inspiring story of a girl who became a hymn-writer despite being blind.

If you've ever picked up a hymn book, the chances are that you've sung a song written by a blind girl... and not just any blind girl... Fanny Crosby. As a young child she knew nothing of the sighted world around her but that didn't stop her interacting with nature, experiencing the thrill of God's creation. She held her grandmother's hand but she thought that was because Grandmother needed her help, and not the other way around.
