12891. Still Sweeter Every Day

1 To Jesus every day I find
My heart is closer drawn,
He’s fairer than the glory
Of the gold and purple dawn;
He’s all my fancy pictures
In their fairest dreams, and more,
Each day He grows still sweeter
Than He was the day before.

Refrain:
The half cannot be fancied
This side the golden shore;
O there He’ll be still sweeter
Than He ever was before.

2 His glory broke upon me
When I saw Him from afar,
He’s fairer than the lily,
Brighter than the morning star;
He fills and satisfies
My longing spirit o’er and o’er,
Each day He grows still sweeter
Than He was the day before. [Refrain]

3 My heart is sometimes heavy,
But He comes with sweet relief,
He folds me to His bosom
When I droop with blighting grief;
I love the Christ who all
My burdens in His body bore,
Each day He grows still sweeter
Than He was the day before. [Refrain]
