A classic hymn of praise written by Fanny Crosby in 1869 with music by Chester G. Allen.
Even though Crosby was totally blind from early childhood, she is widely recognized as the most prolific writer of hymns, songs and poems since the writing of hymns began. And this is even more amazing, considering she only started writing hymns at age forty-four.
Wonderful repeats, in her lyrics, tell us to praise God for His “excellent” greatness. While reminding us that Jesus, like a shepherd, will guard and carry His children in His arms all day long. So let us, who believe, honor Jesus Christ by singing His praises with our full heart and soul.
