1 

Once I thought I walked with Jesus,

   Yet such changeful feelings had;

Sometimes trusting, sometimes doubting,

   Sometimes joyful, sometimes sad.

 2 

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.

 3 

Now I'm trusting every moment,

   Nothing less can be enough;

And the Savior bears me gently

   O'er those places once so rough.

 4 

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.
