'I hear the words of love' (hymn) written by Horatius Bonar

I hear the words of loive;

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 go and come,

And storms may sweep my sky,

This blood-brought friendship changes not;

The cross is ever nigh.


I change - He changes not;

The Christ can never die;

His love, nor mine, the resting place;

His truth, not mine, the tie.


My love is oft-times low;

My joy still ebbs and flows;

But peace with Him remains the same;

No change Jehovah knows.
