All the Way My Savior Leads Me

Fanny J. Crosby

An extraordinarily inspiring American mission worker, poet, and lyricist (1820–1915). Blinded by an incompetent doctor's treatment at six weeks old, she never held resentment, once stating: 'If I could meet him now, I would say, Thank you, thank you, over and over again, for making me blind... for when I get to heaven, the first face that shall ever gladden my sight will be that of my Savior.' Crosby wrote over 8,000 hymns, including 'Blessed Assurance' and 'To God Be the Glory'. She spent her life ministering to the poor and homeless in New York City rescue missions, pouring her deep love for God into her lyrics.

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 athirst may be,

Gushing from the Rock before me,

Lo! a spring of joy I see;

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.
