This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Once I thought I walked with Jesus,

       Yet such changeful feelings had;

    Sometimes trusting, sometimes doubting,

       Sometimes joyful, sometimes sad.

 

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.

 

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.

 

 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.

 

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.

 

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.
