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.

 

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Saviour all the day long.

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Saviour all the day long.

 

Perfect submission, perfect delight,

Visions of rapture burst on my sight;

Angels descending bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

 

Perfect submission, all is at rest,

I in my Saviour am happy and blessed;

Watching and waiting, looking above,

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
       Fanny J. Crosby.
 

I AM A NEW CREATION,

No more in condemnation,

Here in the grace of God I stand.

My heart is overflowing,

My love just keeps on growing,

Here in the grace of God I stand.

 

And I will praise You Lord,

Yes, I will praise You Lord,

And I will sing of all that You have done.

 

A joy that knows no limit,

A lightness in my spirit,

Here in the grace of God I stand.
       Dave Bilbrough.
 

BROTHER, LET ME BE YOUR SERVANT,

Let me be as Christ to you;

Pray that I may have the grace

To let you be my servant, too.

 

We are pilgrims on a journey,

We are brothers on the road;

We are here to help each other

Walk the mile and bear the load.

 

I will hold the Christ light for you

In the night-time of your fear;

I will hold my hand out to you,

Speak the peace you long to hear.

 

I will weep when you are weeping,

When you laugh I’ll laugh with you;

I will share your joy and sorrow

Till we’ve seen this journey through.

 

When we sing to God in heaven

We shall find such harmony,

Born of all we’ve known together

Of Christ’s love and agony.

 

Brother, let me be your servant,

Let me be as Christ to you;

Pray that I may have the grace

To let you be my servant, too.
       Richard Gillard
 

IN HEAVENLY LOVE ABIDING,

No change my heart shall fear;

And safe is such confiding,

For nothing changes here:

The storm may roar without me,

My heart may low be laid;

But God is round about me,

And can I be dismayed?

 

Wherever He may guide me,

No want shall turn me back;

My Shepherd is beside me,

And nothing can I lack:

His wisdom ever waketh,

His sight is never dim;

He knows the way He taketh,

And I will walk with Him.

 

Green pastures are before me,

Which yet I have not seen;

Bright skies will soon be o’er me,

Where darkest clouds have been;

My hope I cannot measure,

My path to life is free;

My Saviour has my treasure,

And He will walk with me.
       Anna L. Waring.
