You bring the Hymnal,  I'll bring the History

One day in 1874, Fanny Crosby was in need of $5.00.  She therefore, did what she always did when in need, she prayed.  Minutes later a stranger came to visit and, before leaving, gave her the exact amount that she needed.  She said later of this event, “I have no way of accounting for this except to believe that God, in answer to my prayer, put it into the heart of this man to bring the money.  My first thought was, it is so wonderful the way the Lord leads me.  I immediately wrote a poem concerning this and gave it to Robert Lowry who set it to music.”  The hymn was ,”All the Way My Savior Leads Me.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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, whatev’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.

All the way my Savior leads me; Oh 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.
