All the way my Savior leads me

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?
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.
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;
  Oh, the fullness of His grace!
Perfect rest to me is promised
  In my Father’s blest embrace.
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.

This hymn has always stuck with me. As I get older I tend to blend the verses together . So I came here to get them straight. As I read the words they continue to speak to me over and over. I am relying on my Savior to lead me through these long, lonely, hot days of COVID-19 isolation. I am looking to Jesus to uphold those who believe and to carry us through no matter how bad it gets. We need His divine protection and strength to make it through.

It is Easter season, and celebrating time. Do not let this disease destroy or distort your relationship with our Lord. Jesus saves, guides, protects, leads. All the way my Savior leads me... all the way from earth to heaven. God help us all to bear witness to His Love, and to acknowledge His divine will in our lives.

I enjoyed reading comments from my Brothers and Sisters across the globe. It is amazing to think that people from every nation, tribe and tongue will come to know and believe in the One True God! (Revelation 7:9-10)

My favorite lyrics have to be from verse 1: "For I know, whate'er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well." For they remind me of one of my favorite passages of Scripture which is found in Job 1:20-22.

May we always follow where ever He leads and sing His praises all the while.

Blessed be the name of the LORD!

This beloved gospel hymn was the expression of gratitude to God after a direct answer to prayer. It is reported that one day Fanny Crosby desperately needed five dollars and did not know where she could get this amount. She began to pray and within a few minutes a stranger appeared at the door with five dollars. “I have no way of accounting for this, except to believe that God, in answer to my prayer, put it in the heart of this good man to bring the money. My first thought, it is so wonderful the way the Lord leads me. I immediately wrote the poem and Mr. Lowry set it to music.” The hymn first appeared in a Sunday school collection ‘Brightest and Best’ compiled by William H. Doane and Robert Lowry in 1875.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; And He delights In his way. ” Psalm 37:23.

Of late I am feeling anxious waiting for a decision from the medical community about my kidney transplant admission or rejection. At first, I pray earnestly as if forcing God to give me an affirmative answer. This hymn gave me the relief and the answer. And that if, "forever befall me Jesus doeth all things well". I do not need to worry anymore. If it is God's Will Hee will give me that transplanted kidney. In other words, God's Will will prevail either way.

Amen and Amen

Thanks for posting this comforting song. God reminded me of this song just tonight. Been feeling weary lately. Going through tough times with a dear friend and dear cousin dying unexpectedly in the last couple of weeks. Found out last week that another friend is dying from brain cancer plus dealing with a prodigal daughter.

I thank God for giving me grace for every trial. For I know whatever befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.

Almost a year ago I was pleading with God to show me He is working in my life. I prayed super hard one morning to show me a sign. I specifically prayed to see the number 375. Within 2 hours we were at church, and we sang from the hymnal. We never do this anymore. The third and final hymn called out from a hymnal of 650 hymns was 375, this particular hymn. It was called out load, and on a screen, and in the hymnal, 375 within 2 hours of my asking. God is good.
