Sweet Assurance

Sweet as­sur­ance

Thou hast sealed me

With Thy pre­cious blood di­vine;

And I know

for Thou hast told me

I in life or death am Thine.

Sweet as­sur­ance

O my Sav­ior

How it cheers this heart of mine!

While Thy lov­ing Spir­it whis­pers

I in life or death am Thine.

Perfect peace

no fear alarms me

Still the bless­èd thought is mine;

Though my days be few or ma­ny

I in life or death am Thine.

Death is but a bright tran­si­tion

From a world where joys de­cline

To the realm of life eter­nal

Where Thy end­less glo­ries shine.

Welcome then the vale and sha­dow

Faith

un­fal­ter­ing trust

is mine;

Thro’ the gloom Thy hand will lead me

I in life or death am Thine.
