Hymn Lent Series - Blessed Assurance
Many of you may know Fanny Crosby was actually blind. To see so many references to sight/vision/looking/watching in this hymn, it's amazing how she encourages us with her security in Christ, and looking forward to seeing the Lord face to face.
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.
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.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
[Refrain]
Perfect submission, all is at rest.
I in my Savior am happy and bless’d,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with his goodness, lost in his love.
[Refrain]
