I Hear The Words Of Love is another song featured on the Together For The Gospel 2 album, one from the classic repertoire.
Written by Horatius Bonar it has become associated with a melodic tune by Henry Gauntlett.
Here’s the T4G recording. Bob Kauflin and the massed voices provide a stirring rendition.
The lyrics:
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,
Forevermore the same.
3.
The clouds may come and go
And storms may sweep my sky;
This blood-sealed friendship changes not;
The cross is ever nigh.
4.
My love is oft-times 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.
