一 我主因愛尋找我,當我罪中迷困;
何等奇妙的恩典,領我歸回羊群。
我主的慈愛憐憫,深過最深海洋,
高過最高的蒼天,我要永遠頌揚。
(副)主的愛越久越深,
主的愛越久越深;
何等豐盛深厚,何等廣大長久,
主的愛越久越深。
二 我主生在猶太境,走過人生旅程;
群眾來圍繞親近,為要得著救恩。
傷心的人得撫慰,瞎眼的能看見;
今天主偉大愛心,仍向我們彰顯。
三 主有奇妙的慈愛,為我忍受虧損;
甘願被釘十字架,毫無懷恨埋怨。
但願蒙救贖聖徒,一同歌頌歡呼;
直到天地都響應,讚美耶穌聖名。
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.
