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.

 2  Perfect submission, perfect delight,

    Visions of rapture now 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 Savior am happy and blest;

    Watching and waiting, looking above,

    Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
