Laudes Domini ‎#996

996. "I have peace"

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 I change--he changes not;
The Christ can never die;
His love, not mine, the resting place;
His truth, not mine, the tie.

5 My love is ofttimes low,
My joy still ebbs and flows;
But peace with him remains the same,
No change Jehovah knows.
