Blessed Assurance
by Susan B Mead on November 29th, 2015

Blessed Assurance. Did the melody start playing in your mind? Have you heard or sung the song Blessed Assurance so many times that you know the words - or remember them once the song starts? Me? Enough to remember the words.
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.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Refrain)
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)
The lyrics are from
