309. Sweeter Than All

1 Christ will me His aid afford,
Never to fall, never to fall;
While I find my precious Lord
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.
Jesus is now and ever will be,
Sweeter than all the world to me,
Since I heard His loving call,
Sweeter than all, Sweeter than all.

2 I will follow all the way,
Hearing Him call, hearing Him call;
Finding Him from day to day,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.
Jesus is now and ever will be,
Sweeter than all the world to me,
Since I heard His loving call,
Sweeter than all, Sweeter than all.

3 Tho’ a vessel I may be,
Broken and small, broken and small,
Yet his blessings fall on me,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.
Jesus is now and ever will be,
Sweeter than all the world to me,
Since I heard His loving call,
Sweeter than all, Sweeter than all.

4 When I reach the crystal sea,
Voices will call, voices will call;
But my Savior’s voice will be
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.
Jesus is now and ever will be,
Sweeter than all the world to me,
Since I heard His loving call,
Sweeter than all, Sweeter than all.
