Author: L. N. M. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #840 Meter: 13.13.13.13.7.7.12.7 First Line: Of Jesus' love that sought me, when I was lost in sin 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.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain] Topics: Experience Scripture: Psalm 92:12-14 Tune Title: [Of Jesus' love that sought me, when I was lost in sin]
