Oh, 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] Used With Tune: ASSURANCE Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Blessed_Assurance); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (194); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (386)
