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.
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.
Wherever He leads I will follow,
Thro’ sorrow, or shadow, or sun;
And tho’ I be tried in the furnace,
I can say, “Lord, Thy will be it done.”
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!
Chorus
Sweeter and sweeter to me,
Dearer and dearer each day;
Oh, wonderful love of my Savior,
Growing dearer each step of the way!
Chas. H. Gabriel
O Jesus, Saviour of the lost,
My rock and hiding place,
By storms of sin and sorrow tossed,
I seek Thy sheltering grace.
Guilty, forgive me, Lord, I cry,
Pursued by foes, I come;
A sinner, save me, or I die,
An outcast, take me home.
Once safe in Thine almighty arms,
Let storms come on amain:
There danger never, never harms,
There death itself is gain.
And when I stand before Thy Throne,
And all Thy glories see,
Still be my righteousness alone
To hide myself in Thee.
Bishop Edward H. Bickersteth
