🙏 She never saw the page, but she saw her Saviour clearly…

F***y Crosby (Frances J van Alstyne) was blinded at six weeks old by a doctor's catastrophic mistake. Her father died the same year.

She grew up in rural New York memorising whole books of Scripture by ear, and spent years feeling something was missing, until 1850, singing Alas, and did my Saviour bleed, it wasn't missing anymore.

What followed was thousands of hymns written in her head, dictated from memory each morning, three or four a week for decades. She gave away almost everything she earned, spending it on helping New York's homeless and addicted. She died in 1915 at 95.

Her hymns are direct, warm, and gospel-shaped.

🌍 “Into a world so bruised by sin…”

Our songs should not whitewash the condition of this broken world. This hymn starts where the people who sing it are: a world marred by sin.

This hymn does not downplay the issue but reminds us of the only real solution. Christ took on our sins, appeased God’s wrath, rose victoriously, and there is no condemnation for those in him. A strong, gospel-centered hymn for the church to sing.

The text of this hymn is free to read at praise.org.uk, hit ‘search’ and type 1349 - the number of this hymn.

Stuck for a present for the musician in your life? Another gadget… or something they can actually open and start playing?

The Christmas Praise music book is now £12. Inside are 71 items: well-loved carols like Once in Royal David’s City and Good Christians, All Rejoice, alongside newer Christmas songs including Come, Adore the Humble King and Comfort and Joy.

The book is spiral-bound and lay-flat, so it stays open on a piano or music stand – whether they are playing at home, with friends, or in more formal settings.

It’s the kind of gift that can come out every December and still feel fresh many years from now.

If you would like to order a copy, you can find full details on our website – we will put the link in the first comment below.

(For those who use Praise online, our Christmas collections are also available in digital form on the website.)

As Advent begins, many of you will be planning carol services, Christmas Day worship, and a range of special gatherings. We are glad to let you know that our Christmas Praise collection is now available online as an addition to your existing Praise website subscription.

For an additional £5 a year, you can access all the instrumental arrangements, SATB settings and choral versions from the Christmas Praise book within your Praise account.

We have also added the piano scores from the printed book, with the exception of eight items where we have not been able to secure online publishing rights. Those can, of course, still be found in the printed book.

If your church already uses Praise online and you would find the Christmas collection helpful for Advent and Christmas services, you can add it to your subscription via the link in the comments.

Our prayer is that these resources will help your congregation to sing clearly of Christ’s coming in this season.
