Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of love
Born in His goodness, washed in His blood

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, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Born in His Spirit, washed in His blood

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

"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.
