I Hear the Words of Jesus

Verse 1

I hear the words of Jesus, They speak of peace with God; I see the Lamb, Christ Jesus, Who bore my heavy load; I trust the blood of Jesus, From sin it sets me free, I love the name of Jesus, Who gave Himself for me.

Verse 2

His word, divinely blessèd, It shows me what I am; His cross, it brings salvation, The victim was the Lamb; His blood procureth pardon, And justifies the soul, His name, how sweet and precious, It makes the sinner whole.

Verse 3

Oh! hear the words of Jesus, The tidings are for thee; Oh! clasp the cross of Jesus, And there for refuge flee; Oh! trust the blood of Jesus, Be saved this very hour; Oh! love the name of Jesus, Blest name of wondrous power.
