ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOUR LEADS ME All the way my Saviour leads me; What have I to ask beside? Can I doubt his tender mercy, Who thro life has been my guide? Heavenly peace, divinest comfort. Here by faith in him to dwell; For I know what-eer befall me, Jesus doeth all things well; For I know what-eer befall me, Jesus doeth all things well. All the way my Saviour 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 Saviour leads me; O the fullness of his love! Perfect rest to me is promised In my Fathers house above; When my spirit clothed, immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day, This my song thro endless ages Jesus led me all the way; This my song thro endless ages Jesus led me all the way. Amen.
The Donahue family wishes to acknowledge and express appreciation to friends who have demonstrated their love in so many ways.
