Sweeter as the Years Roll By

Author: C. A. M. Hymnal: His Worthy Praise #54 (1915) First Line: When upon bended knee Jesus whispered to me Refrain First Line: For He is sweeter as the years roll by Lyrics: 1 When upon bended knee, Jesus whispered to me, Sweeter voice I had never heard; But the years as they roll bring a joy to my soul, As I linger upon his word. Refrain: For he is sweeter as the years roll by, To be worthy of his love I’ll try; So I’ll love him more and more, As I near the other shore, For he is sweeter as the years roll by. 2 Ev’ry day is a joy sin can never destroy, Ev’ry moment in peace I dwell; But I’m longing to stand face to face, hand in hand, With the One whom I love so well. [Refrain] 3 Days may come, they must go, as a torrent they flow, Rushing on to eternity; But the time as it flies, brings me nearer the prize That awaits when my King I’ll see. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When upon bended knee Jesus whispered to me]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Person Name: C. A. M. Author of "Sweeter as the Years Roll By" in Gospel Gems Number 1 Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
