once i thought i walked with jesus

Once I thought I walked with Jesus,

yet such changeful feelings had:

sometimes trusting, sometimes doubting,

sometimes joyful, sometimes sad.




Oh, what peace my Saviour gives,

peace I never knew before!

How my way has brighter grown,

since I learned to trust Him more.




For He called me closer to Him,

bade my doubting, fearing cease

and, when I had fully yielded,

filled my soul with perfect peace.




Now I'm trusting every moment,

nothing less can be enough;

and my Saviour bears me gently,

o'er the places once so rough.




Day by day my soul He's keeping,

by His wondrous power within;

and my heart is full of singing

to my Saviour from all sin. ......
