I Hear the Words
Horatius Bonar • English
Primary Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3
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, forevermore the same.
Verse 3
The clouds may go and come, and storms may sweep my sky, this blood-brought friendship changes not; the cross is ever nigh.
Verse 4
I change- He changes not; the Christ can never die; His love, not mine, the resting place; His truth, not mine, the tie.
Verse 5
My love is oft-times low; my joy still ebbs and flows; but peace with Him remains the same; no change Jehovah knows.
