The story behind the Timms. History of the hymn in Jesus Christ, martyr
of peace, in Jesus Christ, martyr of peace? In black and stormy
hours, there are in the souls sweet waves, pleasant, comfort, happiness,
glory, Let us sing to the redeemer who wanted to die for us
and that the grace of the Savior always direct our life. The author of
this hymn was Fanny Crosby. She was probably the most prolific anthem writer,
composing over 8, 000. Among others. He wrote the lyrics of the
hymns n St Ns Holy Great Eternal, God, praise the Great King tell
me the story of Christ in a Benign voice calls you Jesus purchased with blood
by Christ. A great Savior is Jesus in Jesus Christ martyr of peace,
Christ is the guide of my life. I leave the world and follow Christ,
Do not be afraid to speak for Christ. Give us a break,
sir, and I' ll be able to recognize you. Fanny Crossby was
visiting her friend Phibi Naup while she was being installed with a large organ in
her house. The organ was incomplete, so Mrs Napp, using the piano,
played a melody she had just composed. Asking Fanny Crosby what came to
mind. Listening to the melody, his response was the title of this hymn.
The hymn was published in one thousand eight hundred and seventy- three.
The music was written by Phoby Upp, a member of the same Methodist church
attended by Fanny and a good friend of hers. She had a great fortune
that, upon her husband’ s death, she devoted much of it to
helping those in need. The original English verses belong to the well- known
Himno blesset Sharence, of which there is a Spanish version entitled grata certitude.
The letter of pleasant certainty comes closer to the original in English and thus says
pleasant certainty. I' m from Jesus. Made heir to eternal health.
His blood could free my soul from eternal sorrow and give me peace. This
is my story and it' s my song. Glory Jesus for his salvation.
Even for me it was his redemption. Blessed story beautiful song. Fanny
Crosby died on February 2, 2000, leaving behind her an immense musical legacy
of praise and adoration to her lord whose face upon reaching heaven was the first
thing she saw in her life.
