A D G D
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
D A E A
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine!
A D G D
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
D G A D
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
A D G D
This is my story, this is my song,
G D E A
praising my Saviour, all the day long;
A D G D
This is my story, this is my song,
D G A D
praising my Saviour, all the day long.
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
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.

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.

D G D
And did those feet in ancient time
G D Em G
walk upon England's mountains green?
D A D
And was the Holy Lamb of God
A D E A
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
A Em Am Em
And did the countenance divine
G C G
shine forth upon our clouded hills?
Em A D
And was Jerusalem builded here
G D G D
among these dark satanic mills
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of de-sire!
Bring me my spear! O Clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
'til we have built Jerusalem
in England's green and pleasant land!

G
Mine eyes have seen the glory,
Of the coming of the Lord;
C
He is trampling out the vintage
G D
Where the grapes of wrath are stored;
G
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
B Em
Of His terrible swift sword;
Am D G
His truth is marching on.
chorus:
G
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
C G
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
G Em
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Am D G
His truth is marching on.
I have seen him the watchfires
Of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar
In the evening dews and damps.
I can read his righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
(chorus)
I have read a fiery gospel
Writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners
So with you my grace shall deal."
Let the hero born of woman
Crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.
(chorus)
He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat;
He is shifting out the hearts of men
Before his judgement seat.
O be swift my soul to answer him,
Be jubilant my feet;
Our God is marching on.
(chorus)
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom
That transfigures you and me.
As he died to make men holy,
Let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
(chorus)

G Em G D G
O for a thousand tongues to sing
C D
My great Redeemer’s praise,
G A D
My great Re- deemer’s praise,
G Em C D
The glories of my God and King,
G C
The triumphs of His grace!
G D
The triumphs of His grace!
G C D G
The triumphs of- The triumphs of- of His grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’Tis life, and health, and peace.
He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive,
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
Hear Him, ye deaf;
His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
