MP 59 Blessed assurance

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine:
   O what a foretaste of glory divine!
   Heir of salvation, purchase of God;
   born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
   

   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.
   

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
   visions of rapture burst on my sight;
   angels descending, bring from above
   echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
   

   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.
   

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.
   

   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.
   

CH4 694 Brother, Sister, Let Me Serve You

1. Brother, sister, let me serve you,
   let me be as Christ to you;
   pray that I may have the grace to
   let you be my servant too.
   

2. We are pilgrims on a journey,
   and companions on the road;
   we are here to help each other
   walk the mile and bear the load.
   

3. I will hold the Christ-light for you
   In the night-time of your fear;
   I will hold my hand out to you,
   speak the peace you long to hear.
   

4. I will weep when you are weeping;
   when you laugh I’ll laugh with you;
   I will share your joy and sorrow
   till we’ve seen this journey through.
   

5. When we sing to God in heaven
   we shall find such harmony,
   born of all we’ve known together
   of Christ’s love and agony.
   

6. Brother, sister, let me serve you,
   let me be as Christ to you;
   pray that I may have the grace to
   let you be my servant too.
