84. We Hear the Words of Love
S.M.
by H. Bonar
We hear the words of love,
We see the mighty sacrifice,
And we have peace with God.
“I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” (John 10:11)
’Tis stable as His steadfast throne,
Our love is ofttimes low,
Our joy still ebbs and flows;
But peace with Him remains the same,
We change — He changes not;
Our Christ can never die:
His love, not ours, the resting-place,
The cross still stands unchanged,
Though heaven is now His home;
The mighty stone is rolled away,
The grave of all our woes;
We know the Son of God has come,
We know He died and rose.
At God’s right hand above;
We know the throne on which He sits,
We know His truth and love!
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 1:3)
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
