Sweeter Than All

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

Refrain

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.

I will follow all the way,
Hearing Him call, hearing Him call,
Finding Him, from day to day,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.

Refrain

Tho’ a vessel I may be,
Broken and small, broken and small,
Yet His blessings fall on me,
Sweeter than all, sweeter than all.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

This hymn with its distinctive 'Sweeter than all' refrain is most commonly attributed to W. C. (W. Stillman or William Clark) Martin, an American gospel songwriter active around 1900. Some hymnals list the composer of the tune as C. Austin Miles, but the lyrics are credited to Martin.
