This is the hymn that came to me this morning: Blessed Assurance, another jewel out of Fanny Crosby’s treasury. Is there anybody here who doesn’t need the blessed assurance God provides?

Today’s Hymn, ‘Blessed Assurance’
Fanny Crosby wrote more than 8,000 hymns during her lifetime. This is one of them: Blessed Assurance, from 1873, sung here by Spring Harvest.
Father in Heaven, we thank you for the life and works of Fanny Crosby. Though she was blind, how many did she help to see!
From Texas: ‘Blessed Assurance’
Let’s turn to something edifying, shall we? Something pleasing to God.
I wish I knew the names of these three ladies–boy, can they sing! And we have Nathan on the mandolin. I never would’ve thought of adding a mandolin, but this classic Fanny Crosby hymn is all the better for it.
This hymn has powerfully stirred my soul this morning. I hope it will do the same for you.
By Request, ‘Blessed Assurance’
I’d never heard this song before, so thank you, Erlene, for suggesting it.
I don’t know why, but I imagine this song as a lullaby–the kind my Grandma would have sung me, a baby on her lap. She died when I was only 11 years old, but lately I’ve felt like she is very near to me.
Thank you, O Lord my God, for that.
