I Hear the Words of Love

Lyrics

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,
Forevermore the same.

VERSE 3
The clouds may come and go
And storms may sweep my sky;
This blood-sealed friendship changes not;
The cross is ever nigh.

VERSE 4
My love is oft-times 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.
