Once I thought I walked with Jesus,

Yet such changeful feelings had;

Sometimes trusting, sometimes doubting,

Sometimes joyful, sometimes sad.

But He call'd 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 the Savior bears me gently

O'er those 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 Savior from all sin.
