Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine

233
			9.10.9.9.Ref.

1	Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine: 
	Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! 
	Heir of salvation, purchase of God; 
	Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. 

		This is my story, this is my song, 
		Praising my Saviour all the day long. 

2	Perfect submission, perfect delight, 
	Visions of rapture burst on my sight; 
	Angels descending, bring from above 
	Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. 

3	Perfect submission, all is at rest, 
	I in my Saviour am happy and blest; 
	Watching and waiting, looking above, 
	Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
