"I Know That My Redeemer Lives"

I recently watched the Concordia University Wisconsin chapel service from 6 May.  The hymn was "I Know That My Redeemer Lives," and in it, I noticed yet an-other instance where a phrase starting with "all" is sung to notes of all different pitches, resulting in a sense of extent or entirety.

The fifth verse starts with the line "He lives to silence all my fears," sung to this phrase from "Duke Street":


The phrase "all my fears" is sung to the notes D C# B A.
