I hear the words of love

I hear the words of love

I gaze upon the blood

I see the mighty sacrifice

And I have peace with God.

’Tis everlasting peace!

Sure as Jehovah’s Name

’Tis stable as His steadfast throne

For evermore the same.

The clouds may go and come

And storms may sweep my sky;

This blood-sealed friendship changes not

The Cross is ever nigh.

My love is ofttimes low

My joy still ebbs and flows

But peace with Him remains the same

No change my Savior knows.

I change

He changes not;

The Christ can never die;

His love

not mine

the resting-place

His truth

not mine

the tie.

The Cross still stands unchanged

Though heaven is now His home;

The mighty stone is rolled away

But yonder is His tomb!

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.

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!
