Blessed Assurance
Fanny Crosby
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.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
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.
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.
One of my favorite hymns. I love the being at rest part!

This is a favorite hymn of mine too 🙂 ❤ It's such a shame people now do not know a lot of the old hymns.

Yes, which is why I feel led to share them, because I am blessed by them, and because not everyone grew up on them like I did, and because I know they will be a blessing to others. And, they are in public domain.
