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. ......
