Blessed Assurance

This another popular hymn that was written by the blind hymn writer Frances Jane Crosby in the year 1873. The music for this song was composed by Phoebe P. Knapp, also in 1873. Frances Crosby was visiting Mrs. Knapp at her home where a pipe organ was being installed and Mrs. Knapp played a tune on the piano and asked her friend Fanny Crosby, who was visiting, and asked her what the tune said. France Crosby immediately responded, "Why, that says: 'Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine.'". The hymn draws its inspiration from Hebrews 10:22. The hymn appeared in the July issue of Palmer's Guide to Holiness and Revival Miscellany, a magazine printed by Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Palmer of 14 Bible House, New York City.
Frances Jane Crosby has more than 8,000 gospel songs to her credit and Mrs. Knapp has composed more than 500 songs.
The complete lyrics are as follows.

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.


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 blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with his goodness, lost in His love.
(Refrain)
