All the Way My Savior Leads Me
Words, Fanny J. Crosby, 1875. Tune ALL THE WAY, Robert Lowery, 1875.
First Verse:
All the way my Savior leads me; What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt his tender mercy, Who thro’ life has been my guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in him to dwell!
For I know whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.
Second Verse:
All the way my Savior leads me; Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for ev’ry trail, Feeds me with the living bread:
Tho my weary steps may falter, And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the *Rock before me, Lo! a spring of joy I see.
Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! a spring of joy I see.
Third Verse:
All the way my Savior leads me; Oh, the fullness of his love!
Perfect rest to me is promis’d In my Father’s house above:
When my spirit, cloth’d immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song thro’ endless ages: Jesus led me all the way;
This my song thro’ endless ages: Jesus led me all the way.
