BLESSED ASSURANCE

BLESSÈD ASSURANCE

Blessèd 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.

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.

Refrain

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.

Words:
Fan­ny Cros­by, 1873:

My friend, Mrs. Jo­seph F. Knapp, com­posed a mel­o­dy and played it over to me two or three times on the pi­a­no. She then asked what it said. I re­plied, “Bles­sed as­sur­ance, Je­sus is mine!”

Music: As­sur­ance,

QUE SEGURANÇA (Nind)

Que segurança! Sou de Jesus!
Eu já desfruto as bençãos da luz.
Sou por Jesus herdeiro de Deus;
Ele me leva à glória dos céus.

Refrão

Canta, minha alma! Canta ao Senhor!
Rende-lhe sempre ardente louvor!
Canta, minha alma! Canta ao Senhor!
Rende-lhe sempre ardente louvor!

Ao seu amor eu me submeti
Extasiado então me senti.
Anjos cantando nos altos céus
Louvam a excelsa graça de Deus.

Refrão

Sempre vivendo em seu grande amor,
Me regozijo em meu Salvador.
Esperançoso vivo na luz,
Pela bondade do meu Jesus.

Refrão
