Blessed Assurance was composed by Mrs. Joseph Knapp, an amateur musician. She was the wife of the founder of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and a close personal friend of Fanny Crosby.        One day Mrs. Knapp played a melody for the blind poetess, and asked:        “What does this tune say?”        Fanny responded immediately:        “Why, that says: ‘Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine.’”        ++++++++++   Blessed Assurance   (1) 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.   CHO:       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.   (2) 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.
