Blessed Assurance

Words by Fanny Crosby (1820–1915) · Public domain

The words

  1. Stanza 1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!O, what a foretaste of glory divine!Heir of salvation, purchase of God,Born of his Spirit, wash’d in his blood.

    Chorus

    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. Stanza 2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.Angels descending bring from aboveEchoes of mercy, whispers of love.

  3. Stanza 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.

The chorus is sung after each stanza.

Notes on this text

  • The 1908 page heads the hymn with Song of Solomon 2:16 and prints Phoebe P. Knapp’s music (“Mrs. Jos. F. Knapp”).
  • The copyright line on the 1908 page (1873, Joseph F. Knapp) is for the music. That copyright line covers the music, which isn’t on this page.
