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. Refrain 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 bless?d thought is mine; Though my days be few or many, I in life or death am Thine. Refrain Death is but a bright transition, From a world where joys decline, To the realm of life eternal, Where Thy endless glories shine. Refrain Welcome then the vale and shadow, Faith, unfalt'ring trust, is mine; Thro' the gloom Thy hand will lead me, I in life or death am Thine. Refrain
