1. Bless- �d a- ssu- rance, Je- sus is mine! O what a fore- taste of glo- ry di- vine! Heir of sal- va- tion, pur- chase of God, Born of His Spi- rit, washed in His blood. This is my stor- y, this is my song, Prais- ing my Sa- vior, all the day long; This is my stor- y, this is my song, Prais- ing my Sa- vior, all the day long.
 
2. Per- fect sub- mis- sion, per- fect de- light, Vis- ions of rap- ture now burst on my sight; An- gels de- scend- ing bring from a- bove E- choes of mer- cy, whisp- ers of love.
 
3. Per- fect sub- mis- sion, all is at rest I in my Sa- vior am hap- py and blest, Watch- ing and wait- ing, look- ing a- bove, Filled with His good- ness, lost in His love.
