"I Walk in Danger All the Way"

Last month, I watched the Concordia University Wisconsin chapel service from the 10th.  The hymn was "I Walk in Danger All the Way," and I noticed a feature that recurs throughout.

It's sung to the tune "Der lieben Sonne Licht und Pracht."  Here's the first musical phrase:

In the first verse, the text here is "I walk in danger all the way."  The phrase "all the way" is sung to notes of all different pitches (A F E), providing a sense of entirety.  This feature is present in every verse; each initial line ends with the phrase "all the way."
