I hear the words of love

Verse 1

I hear the words of love,
I gaze upon the blood,
I see the mighty sacrifice,
And I have peace with God.

Verse 2

'Tis everlasting peace!
Sure as Jehovah's Name,
'Tis stable as His steadfast throne,
For evermore the same.

Verse 3

The clouds may go and come,
And storms may sweep my sky;
This blood-sealed friendship changes not,
The Cross is ever nigh.

Verse 4

My love is ofttimes low,
My joy still ebbs and flows,
But peace with Him remains the same,
No change Jehovah knows.

Verse 5

I change, He changes not;
The Christ can never die:
His love, not mine, the resting-place,
His truth, not mine, the tie.

Verse 6

The Cross still stands unchanged,
Though heaven is now His home;
The mighty stone is rolled away,
But yonder is His tomb!

Verse 7

And yonder is my peace,
The grave of all my woes!
I know the Son of God has come,
I know He died and rose.

Verse 8

I know He liveth now
At God's right hand above;
I know the throne on which He sits,
I know His truth and love.
