Sunday's Hymn

We sang this hymn in the worship service this morning.

Blessed 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.

I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

—Fanny Crosby

Oops, Connie. I had you there and you dropped off somehow. I'm glad you reminded me.

So much more meaningful than smelling the color 9. It is my favorite.
