Dearer As the Days Go By

Representative Text

1 He never disappoints, the Saviour,
He gave Himself for man to die;
They love Him, more and more who know Him,
He is dearer as the days go by.

Chorus:
He is dearer as the days go by,
Dearer as the days go by;
They who walk with Him life's way,
Can of the Saviour say,
He is dearer as the days go by.

2 We find Him every true, the Saviour,
As we His word of promise try,
In time of need He never fails us,
He is dearer as the days go by. [Chorus]

3 Come, all you weary, heavy-laden,
And to the Saviour's cross draw nigh;
He'll save you and stay near to aid you,
He is dearer as the days go by. [Chorus]
