Fanny Crosby (24 March 1820 –12 February 1915) was an American mission worker and poet, particularly of hymns.

Episcopalian choirmasters tend
To shun the hymns that Fanny Crosby penned.

It's more about the fervor they arouse,
For heart-on-sleeve exuberance is alien
Where liturgies are pure Episcopalian.
