Author: Lelia N. Morris Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #405 (1976) First Line: Of Jesus' love that sought me 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 broken-hearted, 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.
