About this Hymn
Go to him with your sorrow; he will turn it into joy. Go to him with your death; he will transform it into life. Go to him with your sins; he will forgive them frankly. Go to him with your stony heart; he will take it out of you, and give you the heart of flesh. Go to him with your chains; he will snap them asunder. Go to him with your hunger; he will feed you; with your thirst, he will give you drink; with every burden and care and weakness, he will remove them all. – Horatius Bonar
Lyrics
Verse 1
I hear the words of love; I gaze upon the blood; I see the mighty sacrifice, and I have peace with God.
Verse 2
'Tis everlasting peace, sure as Jehovah's name; 'tis stable as his steadfast throne, forevermore the same.
Verse 3
The clouds may go and come, and storms may sweep my sky, this blood-bought friendship changes not; the cross is ever nigh.
Verse 4
My love is ofttimes low; my joy still ebbs and flows; but peace with him remains the same; no change Jehovah knows.
Verse 5
I change— he changes not; the Christ can never die; his love, not mine, the resting place; his truth, not mine, the tie.
I hear the words of love; I gaze upon the blood; I see the mighty sacrifice, and I have peace with God.

Verse 4
My love is ofttimes low; my joy still ebbs and flows; but peace with him remains the same; no change Jehovah knows.
Verse 5
I change— he changes not; the Christ can never die; his love, not mine, the resting place; his truth, not mine, the tie.
