Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 #60 (1897) First Line: There's a veil that hangs before me Refrain First Line: All the way, all the way Lyrics: 1 There’s a veil that hangs before me,
And an unknown pathway hides;
There’s an eye that’s watching o’er me,
An almighty hand that guides.
So I need not fear the morrow;
Peace is in my heart today,
For my blessed Saviour tells me,
He’ll be with me all the way.
Refrain:
All the way, all the way,
He’ll be with me all the way;
O my blessed Saviour tells me,
He’ll be with me all the way.
2 At the blood-stained cross he met me,
Bade me look to him and live;
Though temptations shall beset me,
Overcoming pow’r he’ll give.
There’s a joy that shines about me,
With a pure and heav’nly ray,
For my blessed Saviour tells me,
He’ll be with me all the way. [Refrain]
3 In the time of pain and sadness,
His sweet promise I will test;
Welcome, sunny hours of gladness,
By his smile made doubly blest.
Ev’ry step that leads to glory
Shall his wondrous love display,
For my blessed Saviour tells me,
He’ll be with me all the way. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There's a veil that hangs before me]

John R. Sweney
1837 - 1899 Person Name: Jno. R. Sweney Composer of "[There’s a veil that hangs before me]" in Sacred Praise John R. Sweney (1837-1899) was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and exhibited musical abilities at an early age. At nineteen he was studying with a German music teacher, leading a choir and glee club, and performing at children’s entertainments. By twenty-two he was teaching at a school in Dover, Delaware. Soon thereafter, he was put in charge of the band of the Third Delaware Regiment of the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. After the war, he became Professor of Music at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, and director of Sweney’s Cornet Band. He eventually earned Bachelor and Doctor of Music degrees at the Academy.
Sweney began composing church music in 1871 and became well-known as a leader of large congregations. His appreciators stated “Sweney knows how to make a congregation sing” and “He had great power in arousing multitudes.” He also became director of music for a large Sunday school at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia of which John Wanamaker was superintendent (Wanamaker was the founder of the first major department store in Philadelphia). In addition to his prolific output of hymn melodies and other compositions, Sweney edited or co-edited about sixty song collections, many in collaboration with William J. Kirkpatrick. Sweney died on April 10, 1899, and his memorial was widely attended and included a eulogy by Wanamaker.
