第二詞:主愛新鮮又甘甜

一  主愛新鮮又甘甜,我要引聲頌揚;

主旣為我受苦難,又來住我心房;

賜我生命與平安,扶持照護無間;

主愛越久越新鮮,主愛越久越甜。

(副歌)主的愛越久越甜,

主的愛越久越甜;

甜過美酒甘蜜,我要頌揚不已,

主的愛越久越甜。

二  主愛長闊又高深,我要高聲頌揚;

主比親者還要親,永不離我身旁,

待我情深如密友,與我心心相印;

主愛越久越豐厚,主愛越久越深。

三  主愛溫柔又堅剛,我要永遠頌揚;

主比強者還要強,主愛也是這樣;

雖然天地會改遷,雖然海枯石爛;

主愛至終不消減,主愛歷久不變。

Sweeter As the Years Go By (2nd Chinese version)

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.

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.
