5004. Once I Thought I Walked with Jesus

1. Once I thought I walked with Jesus,
Yet such changeful feelings had,
Sometimes trusting, sometimes doubting,
Sometimes joyful, sometimes sad.

Refrain
O the peace my Savior gives,
Peace I never knew before!
And my way has brighter grown
Since I learned to trust Him more.

2. But He called me closer to Him,
Bade my doubts and fears all cease,
And, when I had fully yielded,
Filled my soul with perfect peace. [Refrain]

3. Now I’m trusting every moment,
Nothing less can be enough;
And my Savior bears me gently
O’er the places once so rough. [Refrain]

4. Blessèd Savior, Thou dost keep me
By Thy power from day to day,
And my heart is full of gladness,
For Thou’lt keep me all the way. [Refrain]
