Author: W. C. Poole Hymnal: Sunday School Voices, No.2 #44 (1913) First Line: All the way I'll go for Jesus Refrain First Line: All the way, all the way Lyrics: 1 All the way I’ll go for Jesus, Who went all the way for me From his royal throne in heaven To the cross on Calvary; Who to rescue me when wand’ring From the fold so far astray, Loved and sought me till he found me— Who for me went all the way. Chorus: All the way, all the way, I’ll go with him all the way; All the way, all the way, I’ll go with Jesus all the way. 2 All the way I’ll go with Jesus, For it grows the more complete As I journey in the pathway Of his blessed, wounded feet. He is always close beside me, Cheering, helping, day by day; I am safe with him to guide me, For I need him all the way. [Chorus] 3 All the way I’ll go with Jesus, Till I reach the blissful shore, Where with friends who’ve gone before me I shall meet to part no more; And if I should ever weary, When my burdens heavy lay, I will think how Jesus traveled For me all the lonely way.
