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

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

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 yearn-eth
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 reecho
With our Redeemer’s praise
