1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, wash’d in His blood.

Refrain
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 now burst on my sight:
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest,

I in my Saviour am happy and blest:
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Fill’d with His goodness, lost in His love.

HYMN – MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE – BH 257

1. My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
 Saviour divine:
now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
be wholly thine.

2. May thy rich grace impart

strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire;
as thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire.

3. While life's dark maze I tread,

and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.

4. When ends life's transient dream,

when death's cold, sullen stream
shall o'er me roll,
blest Saviour, then, in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul.

4. LESSON 1– John 14:1-4

5. HYMN – ‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS! – BH 258
1. 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, 
and to take him at his word; 
just to rest upon his promise, 
and to know, "Thus saith the Lord." 

Refrain
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him! 
How I've proved him o'er and o'er! 
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! 
O for grace to trust him more!
2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus, 
just to trust his cleansing blood; 
and in simple faith to plunge me 
‘neath the healing, cleansing flood!

3. Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus, 

just from sin and self to cease; 
just from Jesus simply taking 
life and rest, and joy and peace.

HYMN – MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS – BH 283

1. My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Refrain
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand,
all other ground is sinking sand

2. In ev’ry rough and stormy gale,

my anchor holds within the vale.
When all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay.

3. Not earth, nor hell, my soul can move;

I rest upon unchanging love.
I trust his righteous character,
his counsel, promise, and his pow’r

4. When he shall come with trumpet sound,

oh, may I then in him be found,
dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne.

11. CLOSING HYMN: WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER – BH 265
HYMN – WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER - BH 265
1. When peace like a river attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well with my soul”.

Refrain: 
It is well with my soul;
it is well, it is well with my soul

2. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

let this blest assurance control:
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and has shed his own blood for my soul

3. My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!

my sin, not in part, but the whole,
is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

4. O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,

the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;
even so, it is well with my soul.
