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.
Chorus:
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 brokenhearted, 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 heaven and earth reecho with our Redeemer’s praise.
