1Blessed 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.
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.
2Perfect submission, perfect delight,Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,Angels descending, bring from aboveEchoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3Perfect 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.

In step 5 you can tick exactly which verses to print.
Add Blessed Assurance to your booklet, typeset in full, with the order of service around it. You can see the whole booklet before paying anything.
Put Blessed Assurance in my bookletCopyright
Blessed Assurance is in the public domain in the United States (first published 1873) and in the United Kingdom (author died 1915), so the words can be printed in a booklet without permission or a fee.
