BLESSED ASSURANCE

Blessèd 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.

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

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. Refrain
