Moses endured, it is said, as “seeing Him who is invisible.” And “there

Fanny Crosby, in the eighties, has fulfilled the vow which she
made at eight, and has never mourned over the fact that she is
blind. What an impressive lesson of trust and resignation is her
declaration that her blindness has proved not a deprivation, but
a real blessing!
If the gift of sight were offered her now she has said that she
would elect to remain as she is. For she says cheerfully:
“If I had not been deprived of sight, I should never have
received so good an education, nor have cultivated so fine a
memory, nor have been able to do good to so many people.” (Text.)
