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. (Verse 2) Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. (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. (Verse 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. (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. 📜 About This Version This Appalachian folk arrangement features a traditional male and female duet, blending warm mountain-style harmonies with a sparse acoustic accompaniment inspired by the timeless "high lonesome" sound of Appalachia.

Crosby, one of the most beloved and prolific hymn writers in Christian history. Though blind from infancy, Crosby wrote more than 8,000 hymns, many of which continue to be sung around the world today. The melody was composed by Phoebe Palmer Knapp, who played her new tune for Crosby and asked, "What does this melody say to you?" Without hesitation, Crosby replied with the now-famous opening words: "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!" Celebrating the believer's confidence in Christ and the joy of salvation, Blessed Assurance quickly became one of the most cherished Christian hymns ever written. Today it remains a favorite in churches, gospel concerts, worship services, revivals, funerals, and personal devotion around the world. 🎧 Credits Lyrics: Fanny J.
