O what a happy soul am I
although I cannot see;
I am resolved that in this world
contented I will be.
How many blessings I enjoy
that other people don’t –
To weep and sigh because I’m blind,
I cannot and I won’t.
(Fanny Crosby, aged 8)
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and you will call him Immanuel."
Isaiah 7: 14
