TRUSTING JESUS

Mrs. H. Evernden (with Christ)

Once I thought I walked with Jesus

Yet such changeful feelings had,

Sometimes trusting, sometimes doubting,

Sometimes cheerful, sometimes sad.

Then He drew me closer to Him,

Bade my doubts and fears all cease,

And when I had fully yielded

Filled my soul with perfect peace.

And the Holy Spirit dwelling,

Every hour within my heart

Gives to me the blest assurance

That with Christ I now have part.

Oh the peace that Jesus gives me,

Peace I never knew before,

And my way has grown the brighter,

Since I learned to trust Him more.

Now I trust Him every moment,

Nothing less can be enough,

And my Saviour gently bears me

O’er those places once so rough.
