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.

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

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

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.
