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.
