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 come and go
And storms may sweep my sky;
This bloodsealed 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 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.
Words: Horatius Bonar (1861)
Music: Henry Gauntlett (1858)

When All Thy Mercies, O My God (Hymn 68)
When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I’m lost
In wonder, love and praise.To all my weak complaints and cries
Thy mercy lent an ear,
Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learned
To form themselves in prayer.Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care ...
