BLESSED ASSURANCE

Author: Fanny J. Crosby 1873
Composer: Mrs. Joseph F. Knapp 1873

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

      Refrain:
      This is my story, this is my song,
      praising my Savior all the day long;
      this is my story, this is my song,
      praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love
