549. 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 Saviour 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.

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