All The Way My Saviour Leads Me by Jerry Vargo Enjoying the Journey

This beloved hymn came from the grateful heart of Fanny Crosby after she had received a direct answer to her prayer.
One day when she desperately needed five dollars and had no idea where she could obtain it, Fanny followed her usual custom and began to pray about the matter. A few minutes later a stranger appeared at her door with the exact amount.
I have no way of accounting for this, she said, except to believe that God put it into the heart of this good man to bring the money. My first thought was that it is so wonderful the way the Lord leads me, and I immediately wrote the poem. The hymn was first published in the Brightest and Best hymnal in 1875. It is considered one of Crosby’s best known hymns and has been published in over 250 hymnals.
When Fanny was about 6 weeks old, her parents realized with alarm that something was wrong with her eyes. The local doctor was away, but the Crosbys found a man – no one afterward recalled his name – who claimed to be a physician. He put hot poultice on the baby’s inflamed eyes, insisting it would draw out the infection. The infection did clear up, but white scars appeared and in the months that followed the baby registered no response to objects held before her. As it turned out, Fanny was not totally blind. Even in old age she could discern day and night. But her vision was gone.
When Fanny J. Crosby wrote “All the Way My Savior Leads Me” she was expressing her own testimony of God’s guidance. Even her blindness, she realized, was part of His plan. Year later, Fanny viewed her blindness as a special gift from God, believing He had given her a particular “soul-vision” which equipped her for a special work. “It was the best thing that could have happened to me,” she declared. “How in the world could I have lived such a helpful life had I not been blind?”
“Don’t blame the doctor,” Fanny said on another occasion, “He is probably dead by this time. But if I could meet him, I would tell him that he unwittingly did me the greatest favor in the world.”                                                                                                                                     

(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?
Heavenly 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 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.
(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 day;
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.                                                                                                             Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me     Psalm 31:3                                                         Even there Your hand will lead me,And Your right hand will lay hold of me.     Psalm 139:10                                                         And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.                   Luke 24:50                            But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 2 Corinthians 2:14
