SWEETER AS THE YEARS GO BY
1. Of Jesus' love
that sought me
When I was lost in
sin,
Of wondrous grace
that brought me
Back to His fold
again,
Of heights and
depths of mercy
Far deeper than the
sea,
And higher than the
heavens
My theme shall ever
be.
Refrain
Sweeter as the
years go by,
Sweeter as the
years go by;
Richer, fuller,
deeper,
Jesus' love is
sweeter,
Sweeter as the
years go by.
2. He trod in old
Judea
Life's pathway long
ago;
The people thronged
about Him,
His saving grace to
know;
He healed the
broken-hearted.
And caused the
blind to see,
And still His great
heart yearneth
In love for even
me.
3. 'Twas wondrous
love which led Him
For us to suffer
loss -
To bear without a
murmur
The anguish of the
cross.
With saints
redeemed in glory,
Let us our voices
raise,
Till heav'n and
earth re-echo
With our Redeemer's
praise.
