Sometimes it eemed that there was a deep, clean well of inspiration from wilch I was free ta draw." Cantrary to th. usuai custom of composing melodieg for words, Fanny Crosby often wrote hymns for tur4es suggested ta bar. For exaniple thi. author tells us: "Tii. hymn 10O, Child of GÏ%d, wait patienitly, when dark th'>r patii may b.' camne into belng at North- field. Mr. Sankey played a pretty, air and asked me to write a poemn for it, but my mmnd se.med a blank. Next morning just when we were ail going for a drive, I asked ta b. excused and i a few moments the words ai the hymn camne ta me ti regular order just as they are now.", Regarding another immortal hymn she says: "I 1868, n aid and dear friend,' when bidding me gaod-bye said 'I've just forty min- utes before my train leaves for Cincinnati. Here la a melody; con you write words for it?' For twenty minutes I was unconsciaus of ail except the work I waa doing. At the, end af that tinie I, recited the. unes: Sàfe in the. arma of Jésus, Soi e an Eis gentie breast, Tiiere, by His love o'.rahaded, Sweetly mny soul shail rest. Harki 'tis the. voice of aâigels, Borne.tia songt , Over the. fieldso f glo Over the jasper ser and through ta the. end of the hynin. A promninent preacher, at a great Sunday Schoal convention i Brooklyn, said of this bymn that it had given more peace and comfort ta parents who had lait their children thon ony. other hynin h. had ev.r known. Fanny Crosby wrote more thgn five thousand bynins, mony. of which have taken wings and flown ta the. uttermost parts of the. eartii. As Florence Nightingale la known as "'2i0 Lady of the Lamp", Fanny Crosby wrn b. ne- membered as Tiie Lady ai the. Silver Pen. Here la a cluster of pearls from tiiat silver pen: I am Thine, O Lard.
