The story behind the Timms. History
of the hymn in Jesus Christ, martyr

2
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:23.719
of peace, in Jesus Christ,

hours, there are in the souls

redeemer who wanted to die for us

5
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:47.520
and that the grace of the Savior
always direct our life. The author of

6
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.200
this hymn was Fanny Crosby. She
was probably the most prolific anthem writer,

7
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:59.240
composing over 8, 000. Among
others. He wrote the lyrics of the

8
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:06.200
hymns n St Ns Holy Great Eternal, God, praise the Great King tell

9
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.959
me the story of Christ in a
Benign voice calls you Jesus purchased with blood

10
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.879
by Christ. A great Savior is
Jesus in Jesus Christ martyr of peace,

11
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.519
Christ is the guide of my life. I leave the world and follow Christ,

12
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.760
Do not be afraid to speak for
Christ. Give us a break,

13
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.840
sir, and I' ll be
able to recognize you. Fanny Crossby was

14
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.560
visiting her friend Phibi Naup while she
was being installed with a large organ in

15
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.680
her house. The organ was incomplete, so Mrs Napp, using the piano,

16
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.200
played a melody she had just composed. Asking Fanny Crosby what came to

17
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:52.120
mind. Listening to the melody,
his response was the title of this hymn.

18
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.799
The hymn was published in one thousand
eight hundred and seventy- three.

19
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.000
The music was written by Phoby Upp, a member of the same Methodist church

20
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:06.400
attended by Fanny and a good friend
of hers. She had a great fortune

21
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.319
that, upon her husband’ s
death, she devoted much of it to

22
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:15.479
helping those in need. The original
English verses belong to the well- known

23
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.080
Himno blesset Sharence, of which there
is a Spanish version entitled grata certitude.

24
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:29.280
The letter of pleasant certainty comes closer
to the original in English and thus says

25
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.800
pleasant certainty. I' m from
Jesus. Made heir to eternal health.

26
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.599
His blood could free my soul from
eternal sorrow and give me peace. This

27
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.400
is my story and it' s
my song. Glory Jesus for his salvation.

28
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:58.080
Even for me it was his redemption. Blessed story beautiful song. Fanny

29
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:04.439
Crosby died on February 2, 2000, leaving behind her an immense musical legacy

30
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:09.280
of praise and adoration to her lord
whose face upon reaching heaven was the first

31
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.159
thing she saw in her life.
