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 burden we bear, 
	not a sorrow we share, 
	but our toil he doth richly repay; 
	not a grief or a loss, 
	not a frown or a cross, 
	but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]

3	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]

4	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]
