Cantique : Of Jesus’ love that sought me

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.

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.

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.

Revised version:

1. Of Jesus' sweet affection

I'll sing exultantly.

For me He bore affliction

And came to dwell in me.

His life and peace bestowing,

He cares unceasingly;

His love's e'er fresher growing,

More sweet and dear to me.

Sweeter as the days go by,

Sweeter as the days go by;

Honey, wine, excelling,

E'er love's praise I'm telling!

Sweeter as the days go by.

2. Of His love's vast dimensions

I'll loud extol and praise.

What intimate affections

Ne'er leave me all my days.

So tender is my Lover;

His heart is linked to mine;

His love keeps growing richer

And deeper all the time.

Deeper as the days go by,

Deeper as the days go by;

Ocean's depth excelling,

E'er love's praise I'm telling!

Deeper as the days go by.

3. Strong, gentle love of Jesus

I evermore shall tell;

He's stronger than the strongest;

So is His love as well.

Though earth and heavens alter,

Seas dry and rocks decay,

His love will never falter;

'Tis changeless all the way.

Changeless as the days go by,

Changeless as the days go by;

Sun and moon surpassing—

Praise to everlasting.

Changeless as the days go by!

CWWL, Bible Notes & Hymns (LSM)

However, every spiritual matter can be confirmed by practical things. We thank the Lord for this. This is God's sovereign arrangement. For example, Hymn #231 in the Chinese hymnal borrows the good wine and sweet honey of our daily life, the great sea and vast ocean on earth, and the sun and moon in heaven to depict the Lord's love. All these things describe the Lord's love...
