Fanny Crosby's Church

From Wholesome Words:

Her funeral filled the church with friends. The choir sang her favorite song …”Faith of Our Fathers”…then, her own…”Safe in the Arms of Jesus”…and, “Saved By Grace.” Her minister, George M. Brown, of the Methodist church said it well:

There must have been a royal welcome when this queen of sacred song burst the bonds of death and passed into the glories of heaven.
At her funeral was read words from Eliza Edmunds Hewitt, the last verse of a poem freshly written which said:

Good-bye, dearest Fanny, goodbye for a while, You walk in the shadows no more, Around you, the sunbeams of glory will smile, The Lamb is the light of that Shore!
