The New Praiseworthy ‎#47

47. Sweeter As the Days Go By

1 O the love of Jesus means so much to me,
Keeps my pathway shining, keeps me pure and free;
More and more I praise Him, for He seems to be
Sweeter as the days go by.

Chorus:
Sweeter as the days go by, (as the days go by,)
Sweeter as the moments fly; (as the moments fly;)
Sweeter and the dearer as to me He draweth nearer
Sweeter as the days go by.

2 Precious, loving Savior, all along the way,
Words of cheer and comfort I have heard Him say;
And He grows more precious to my soul each day,
Sweeter as the days go by. [Chorus]

3 He, I know, will keep me, He will hold me fast
Till my earthly trials be forever past;
He will be, until I see His face at last,
Sweeter as the days go by. [Chorus]
