All the Way My Savior Leads Me

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with repeat Appears in 334 hymnals Topics: God's Church Life of Discipleship: Trust and Assurance Lyrics: 1 All the way my Savior leads me; what have I to ask beside? Can I doubt his tender mercy, who through life has been my Guide? Heavenly 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. 2 All the way my Savior leads me, cheers each winding path I tread, gives me grace for every trial, feeds me with the living bread; though 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. 3 All the way my Savior leads me; O the fullness of his love! Perfect rest to me is promised in my Father’s house above; when my spirit, clothed immortal, wings its flight to realms of day, this my song through endless ages: Jesus led me all the way; this my song through endless ages: "Jesus led me all the way."
