590. Trust and Obey

Verse 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.

Chorus 1

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Verse 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.

Chorus 3

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Verse 4

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.

Chorus 5

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Verse 6

But we never can prove

the delights of his love

until all on the altar we lay;

for the favor he shows,

and the joy he bestows,

are for them who will trust and obey.

Chorus 7

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Verse 8

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.

Chorus 9

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
