Blessed Assurance

In the depths of mercy’s ocean,
Our Father’s love unfathomed and vast,
Birthed us anew through Christ’s resurrection,
A living hope, unshakeable, unsurpassed.

From death’s dark shadow to light eternal,
Our inheritance pure and undefiled,
Guarded in heaven, secure and vernal,
For us, His chosen, His beloved child.

Through faith we stand, by God’s power shielded,
As earthly trials like chaff blow away,
Our salvation’s promise, yet unrevealed,
Awaits its fullness on that glorious day.

O soul, take heart in this divine assurance,
Your hope not built on shifting sand,
But on the Rock of Ages’ endurance,
Held fast in the Almighty’s hand.

Though unseen now, our inheritance gleams,
Beyond corruption, beyond decay,
More precious than earth’s fleeting dreams,
It beckons us to that eternal day.

So let your heart rejoice, dear pilgrim,
In this hope that cannot be moved,
For the God who raised our Lord from death’s grim,
Has by His mercy our future proved.

Stand firm, beloved, in grace abounding,
Your faith more precious than refined gold,
For in Christ, our cornerstone astounding,
The promises of God unfold.
