Trust and Obey

1 When we walk with the Lord  
In the light of His Word,  
What a glory He sheds on our way!  
While we do His good will,  
He abides with us still,  
And with all who will trust and obey.  

Refrain:  
Trust and obey,  
For there’s no other way  
To be happy in Jesus,  
But to trust and obey.  

2 Not a shadow can rise,  
Not a cloud in the skies,  
But His smile quickly drives it away;  
Not a doubt nor a fear,  
Not a sigh nor a tear  
Can abide while we trust and obey. [Refrain]  

3 Not a burden we bear,  
Not a sorrow we share,  
But our toil He doth richly repay;  
Not a grief nor a loss,  
Not a frown nor a cross  
But is blessed if we trust and obey. [Refrain]  

4 But we never can prove  
The delights of His love  
Until all on the altar we lay;  
For the favor He shows,  
For the joy He bestows  
Are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]  

5 Then in fellowship sweet  
We will sit at His feet,  
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;  
What He says we will do,  
Where He sends we will go;  
Never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain]
