I hear the words of love
[Modernised Version]1 I hear the words of love,
I trust in Jesus' blood,
I see the mighty sacrifice
and I have peace with God.
2 This everlasting peace,
as certain as his name,
is sure as God's eternal throne
unchangeably the same.
*3 Though love is sometimes cold,
and joy still ebbs and flows,
yet peace with God remains secure
such faithfulness he shows.
*4 I change, but he does not:
his truth can never lie;
his love, not mine, upholds my faith
for Jesus shall not die.
