My Savior First of All -Fanny Crosby 1893 Classic Christian Hymns (Modern Versions)

Fanny was sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch of the hotel on a hot summer evening. Pastor John Sweney from New York introduced himself to her and asked if he could sit with her for a while. Fanny agreed, and the two found common ground because both of them were interested in hymn writing. Fanny said to John, “Do you know that if at birth I had been able to make one petition to my Creator, it would have been that I should be born blind?” John asked, “Why?” Fanny Crosby responded, “Because, when I get to heaven, the first face that shall ever gladden my sight will be that of my Savior.” John said, “Fanny, you have been blind all of your life. Since you have never seen anyone, when you get to Heaven, how will you know who Jesus is?” “That’s easy”, said Fanny. “I will just walk all over heaven and ask people if I may see their hands. When I see Jesus’ nail prints in His hands, I will know who He is.” “That is a tremendous thought. Could you put those thoughts into a poem so I may write some music that fits them?” asked John. “It is late and I am tired. I am going to go to my room to rest. I will talk with you in the morning.” replied Fanny. The next day John saw Fanny in the dining room and asked her if she had given any thought to his request. Fanny handed John a piece of paper with the words that her secretary had recorded for her. Thus, the hymn My Savior First of All was written.
