I hear the words of love,
|
|
| 1. | I hear the words of love, |
| | I gaze upon the blood, |
| | I see the mighty sacrifice, |
| | And I have peace with God. |
| 2. | 'Tis everlasting peace! |
| | Sure as Jehovah's Name, |
| | 'Tis stable as His steadfast throne, |
| | For evermore the same. |
| 3. | The clouds may go and come, |
| | And storms may sweep my sky; |
| | This blood-sealed friendship changes not, |
| | The Cross is ever nigh. |
| 4. | My love is ofttimes low, |
| | My joy still ebbs and flows, |
| | But peace with Him remains the same, |
| | No change my Savior knows. |
| 5. | I change, He changes not; |
| | The Christ can never die; |
| | His love, not mine, the resting-place, |
| | His truth, not mine, the tie. |
| 6. | The Cross still stands unchanged, |
| | Though heaven is now His home; |
| | The mighty stone is rolled away, |
| | But yonder is His tomb! |
| 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. |
| 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! |
