[Verse 1]
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love

[Chorus]
