1. Once I thought I walked with Jesus,
  Yet such changeful feelings had;
  Sometimes trusting, sometimes doubting,
  Sometimes joyful, sometimes sad.
(Chorus:)
  Oh, the peace the Savior gives!
  Peace I never knew before;
  And my way has brighter grown
  Since I've learned to trust Him more.
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.
(Chorus:)
  Oh, the peace the Savior gives!
  Peace I never knew before;
  And my way has brighter grown
  Since I've learned to trust Him more.
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.
