Though blind from infancy, Crosby wrote hymns marked by clarity, confidence, and a deep trust in Christ. This hymn reflects her firm assurance in belonging to Jesus and the joy that flows from salvation. The words reflect a life at rest in Christ and grateful for the work He has done. They express the praise of those who know their Savior. Watch the full video of Blessed Assurance now
