263. 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.

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
