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, And 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 oft-times low, My joy still ebbs and flows; But peace with Him remains the same No change Jehovah knows. |
||
5 | I change, He changes not, The Christ can never die; His love, not mine, the resting-place, His trust, not mine, the tie. |

Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 |
