about

Crosby was visiting her friend Phoebe Knapp, as the Knapp home was having a large pipe organ installed. The organ was incomplete, so Mrs. Knapp, using the piano, played a new melody she had just composed. "What do you think the tune says?" asked Knapp.
"Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine", answered Fanny Crosby.

lyrics

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a fore-taste 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!

Perfect submission; perfect delight!
Visions of rapture, now burst on my sight!
Angels descending, bring from above,
Echoes of mercy; whispers of Love.

~~~Chorus~~~

Perfect submission; all is at rest.
I, in my Savior, am happy and blessed,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His Love.

~~~Chorus~~~
