215
S.M.
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 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 truth, not mine, the tie.
