**“I Hear the Words of Love”**
 By Horatius Bonar, 1861

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,
Forevermore the same.

The clouds may come and go,
 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 Jehovah knows.

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