All Along

Fanny Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Samuel 12:23

Verse 1

Jesus came and sought me, Into life He brought me, Taught my grateful heart to sing The glad new song; Praise and glory giving Christ, the ever living, Praise to Him whose mercy leads me All along.

Chorus

All along, All along; Though I wander through the desert, Praise the Lord; Still the cloud is o’er me, Going on before me; Step by step the light I follow; Praise the Lord.

Verse 2

By His love attended, By His grace defended, Every day He crowneth me With joy and song; Should the way be dreary, I can never weary, Trusting Him who gently leads me All along.

Chorus

All along, All along; Though I wander through the desert, Praise the Lord; Still the cloud is o’er me, Going on before me; Step by step the light I follow; Praise the Lord.

Verse 3

When the shadows gather O’er the lonely river, When I hear the echo Of the angels’ song,— Sweet will be the morning, Eden’s land adorning; Sweeter far the love that led me All along.

Chorus

All along, All along; Though I wander through the desert, Praise the Lord; Still the cloud is o’er me, Going on before me; Step by step the light I follow; Praise the Lord.
