Blessed Assurance

1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, 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.

2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; 
Angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love. (refrain)

3 Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest, 
Watching and waiting, looking above,
fllled with his goodness, lost in his love. (refrain)
