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 come and go
and storms may sweep my sky;
this blood-sealed friendship changes not:
the cross is ever night.
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 truth, not mine, the tie.
