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 ofttimes low,

    My joy still ebbs and flows,

    But peace with Him remains the same,

    No change my Savior 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.

 6  The Cross still stands unchanged,

    Though heaven is now His home;

    The mighty stone is rolled away,

    But yonder is His tomb!

 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.

 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!
