BLESSED ASSURANCE

Stanza 1

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine:

O what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchases of God;

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Chorus

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

Stanza 2

Perfect submission, perfect delight,

Visions of rapture burst on my sight;

Angels descending, bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Stanza 3

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.

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS

Stanza 1

There shall be showers of blessing”:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the savior above.

Chorus

Showers of blessing

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.

Stanza 2

“There shall be showers of blessing”:

Precious reviving again

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.

Stanza 3

“There shall be showers of blessing”;

Send them upon us, O Lord!

Grant to us now, a refreshing;

Come, and now honour your word.

Stanza 4

“There shall be showers of blessing”;

Oh, that to-day they might fall,

Now as to God we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Stanza 1

To God be the glory! Great things He hath done!

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son;

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,

And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Chorus

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let the earth His voice!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son:

And give Him the glory! Great things He hath done!

Stanza 2

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!

To every believer the promise of God;

The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Stanza 3

Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;

But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see.
