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 yearneth
  In love for even me.
