Resting in Jesus with Fanny Crosby

All the Way My Savior Leads Me

Fanny J. Crosby, 1875

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?
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

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 a-thirst 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,

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.

  1. Thanks, Rich, just what I needed to hear. As I was telling a younger friend last night, "God meant it for good." He so desires to make us like His dear Son! What a precious reward for the struggles, don't you think?
