64. Sweeter Than All

1 Christ will me His aid afford,
Never to fall, never to fall;
While I find my precious Lord
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.

Chorus:
Jesus is now and ever will be,
Sweeter than all the world to me,
Since I heard His loving call,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.

2 I will follow all the way,
Hearing Him call, hearing Him call;
Finding him from day to day,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all. [Chorus]

3 Tho’ a vessel I may be,
Broken and small, broken and small,
Yet his blessings fall on me,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all. [Chorus]

4 When I reach the crystal sea,
Voices will call, voices will call;
But my Savior’s voice will be
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all. [Chorus]
