Sweeter as the Years Go by

Author: Lelia N. Morris Appears in 130 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:18 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 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 brokenhearted And caused the blind to see; And still His great heart yearneth In love for even me.
