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.
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,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love. [Refrain]
Fanny Crosby
The Methodist Hymnal 1939 edition
<idle musing>
Probably one of Fanny Crosby's most well-known hymns. What surprised me was that it only occurs in a little over a thousand hymnals. I expected twice that. You never know what to expect!
