#117 – Eliza Hewitt, Hymn Writer, with Abigail Medford

In the days of the famous Fanny Crosby lived one lesser known hymn writer who wrote some of the most beloved hymns we still sing today. Her name may not garner the fanfare of some, but her words live on in our churches every Sunday when we open our hymnals to sing "When We All Get to Heaven," "More About Jesus," and many other soul-stirring songs!

In this episode, Tracie and Abigail discuss the life of hymn writer Eliza Hewitt, who had all the excuses not to live a life to its fullest for the Lord. She did not let poor health stop her from putting pen to paper over and over to write words that we sing over one hundred years later. Learn about her passion for teaching Sunday School children and about the many other ways she found to serve Christ. Her story will help you consider when looking at your own service on this earth for God, "Will there be any stars in my crown?"
