"Blessed Assurance" is one of the hymns families most often choose for a funeral or thanksgiving service. The words below are free to print in an order of service.
In our starting orders of service it appears as: Closing hymn in the Methodist order; Hymn in the Pentecostal order. Your minister has the final say on where it is sung.
Words
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.
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.
