497. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine

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 Saviour all the day long:
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Saviour 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 Saviour am happy and blessed:
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love. [Refrain]
