The Gospel Awakening ‎#117

117. Blessed Assurance

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchased of God,
Born of His Spirit, wash'ed in His blood.

Chorus:
This is my story, This is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long.

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture burst on my sight;
Angels descending, bring from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Chorus]

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Fill'd with His goodness, lost in His love. [Chorus]
