Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #15 (1934) Hymnal Title: Reformed Press Hymnal First Line: Of Jesus' love that sought me Lyrics: 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 heaven's,
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 brokenhearted,
And caused the blind to see;
And still His great heart yearneth
In love for even me. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Of Jesus' love that sought me]
Sweeter As The Years Go By
