Lyrics

How sweet is the love of my Sav­ior!
’Tis bound­less and deep as the sea;
And best of it all, it is dai­ly
Growing sweet­er and sweet­er to me.

Refrain

Sweeter and sweet­er to me,
Dearer and dear­er each day;
Oh, won­der­ful love of my Sav­ior,
Growing dear­er each step of my way!

I know He is ev­er be­side me!
Eternity on­ly will prove
The height and the depth of His mer­cy,
And the breadth of His in­fi­nite love.

Refrain

Wherever He leads I will fol­low,
Thru sor­row, or sha­dow or sun;
And though I be tried in the fur­nace,
I can say, Lord, Thy will be it done.

Refrain

Some day face to face I shall see Him,
And oh, what a joy it will be
To know that His love, now so pre­cious,
Will for­ev­er grow sweet­er to me!
