I hear the words of love,

Horatius Bonar (1808-1889)

8 Verses Peace With God Blood Atonement

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, For evermore the same.

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

My love is ofttimes low, My joy still ebbs and flows, But peace with Him remains the same, No change my Savior 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.

Verse 6

The Cross still stands unchanged, Though heaven is now His home; The mighty stone is rolled away, But yonder is His tomb!

Verse 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.

Verse 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!
