Blessed Assurance ================= m: Phoebe P. Knapp, 1873 w: Fanny J. Crosby, 1873 tune: Assurance [Verse 1] 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. [Verse 2] Perfect submission, perfect delight, visions of rapture burst on my sight; angels descending bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain] [Verse 3] 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]
