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.
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.
3
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.

Thank you for posting this most powerful hymn. I felt the need to look up an older version without drums. Powerful ..my eyes are watering. Many of these folks are in Heaven now šš» I hope we can be as faithful. Beautiful beautiful song indeed.
@notnull5878
This song has drums, you can hear the light high hat taps, and the snare, the kick is a little muted, but it also there.
