All the Way Along

Representative Text

1 As I journey onward Jesus is my Friend,
All the way along,
All the way along;
He is ever with me, ready to defend,
All the way along it is Jesus.

Refrain:
All the way along it is Jesus,
All the way along blessed Jesus,
He’s my joy and song,
All the way along,
All the way along it is Jesus.

2 Bearing ev’ry burden, giving perfect peace,
All the way along,
All the way along;
From the chains of evil bringing full release,
All the way along it is Jesus. [Refrain]

3 I will sing his praises, tell his wondrous love,
All the way along,
All the way along;
Walking in his footsteps to a home above,
All the way along it is Jesus. [Refrain]

4 Trusting in his mercy I will joyful be
All the way along,
All the way along;
From all care and sorrow He will keep me free
All the way along it is Jesus. [Refrain]
