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 bless­èd 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.
