HE DOETH ALL THINGS WELL
I hoped that with the brave and strong, my portioned task might lie; To toil amid the busy throng with purpose pure and high. But GOD has fixed another part, and HE has fixed it well; I said so, with my breaking heart when first this anguish fell.
These weary hours will not be lost, these days of misery; these nights of darkness, tempest-tossed, can I but turn to thee. With secret labor to sustain; in patience every blow to gather fortitude from pain, and holiness from woe.
If thou shouldest bring me back to life, more humble I should be, more wise, more strengthened for the strife, more apt to lean on thee.
Should death be standing at the gate, thus should I keep my vow. But, LORD! Whatever be my fate, Oh, let me serve thee now!!!

ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOR LEADS~ FANNY CROSBY
vs.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. vs.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. vs.3 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.
