Blessed Assurance

<p>‘Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!<br> Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!<br> Heir of salvation, purchase of God,<br> Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.</p> <blockquote>‘This is my story, this is my song,<br> Praising my Saviour all the day long.<br> This is my story, this is my song,<br> Praising my Saviour all the day long.</blockquote> <p>‘Perfect communion, perfect delight,<br> Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.<br> Angels descending bring from above<br> Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.</p> <p>‘Perfect submission, all is at rest.<br> I in my Savior am happy and bless’d,<br> Watching and waiting, looking above,<br> Filled with his goodness, lost in his love.’<br> <em>—Fanny Crosby</em></p>
