Sweeter as the Years Go By

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.

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.

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.

’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.
