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
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
Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love
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
Me say blessed, you say assurance (blessed assurance)
Me say glory, you say divine (glory, glory divine)
Me say start it, you tell me sing it (start it, we're gonna sing it)
Me say praise him, you tell me how long (praise him, all day long, all day long...)
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
O, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir if salvation, I've been purchased 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

About"Blessed Assurance" is a well-known Christian hymn. The lyrics were written in 1873 by blind hymn writer Fanny Crosby to the music written in 1873 by Phoebe Knapp.
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. When Knapp asked Crosby, "What do you think the tune says?", Crosby replied, "Blessed assurance; Jesus is mine."
The hymn appeared in the July 1873 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. It appeared on page 36 (the last page) with complete text and piano score, and indicated it had been copyrighted by Crosby that year. It is not certain that this was the first printing of the hymn, but it certainly helped to popularize what became one of the most beloved hymns of all time.
The popular song reflects Crosby's walk of faith, as expressed by the apostle Paul in Philippians 1:21, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain" (ESV).
Because of Crosby's lyrics, the tune is now called "Assurance."
