Blessed Assurance

Words: Fanny Crosby, 1873
Tune:	Phoebe Knapp

A         D        G        D 
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
          Bm  A        E       A 
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine!
A         D        G           D 
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
D           G       A             D 
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

A          D      G          D                 Bm  Bm/A  E           A 
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour, all the day long;
A          D      G          D                 G   Em   A           D 
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour, 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.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

He Leadeth Me

   Words: Joseph H. Gilmore, 1862
   Tune: He Leadeth Me, William B. Bradbury, 1864
   Scripture: Isaiah 48:17

   D                        G
1  He   leadeth   me:   O   blessed thought!
2  Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,
3  Lord, I would clasp Thy  hand in mine,
4  And  when  my  task  on  earth is done,

        D                   Bm/A      A
1  O    words with heav'nly comfort   fraught!
2  Some-times where Eden's  bowers    bloom,
3  Nor  ever     murmur     nor       repine;
4  When by Thy  grace  the  vict'ry's won,

        D                   G
1  What-e'er  I   do,  wher-e'er I be,
2  By   waters still, o'er  troubled sea
3  Con -tent,   whatever    lot I see,
4  E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,

          D           Bm        D/A  A   D
1  Still 'tis  God's  hand that lead-eth me.
2  Still 'tis  God's  hand that lead-eth me.
3  Since 'tis   my    God that  lead-eth me.
4  Since  God through Jordan    lead-eth me.

Chorus
  (D)         A  (A/G)D    G   D
   He leadeth me, He  lead-eth me,
   G/D D       Bm      D/A     A
   By  His own hand He leadeth me;
       D        A        D G     D
   His faithful foll'wer I would be,
   G/D D      Bm      D/A  A   D
   For by His hand He lead-eth me.
