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.

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

Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

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.

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.

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.
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.

I am directing my comment to: "Elaine" of Miami Florida and this is my response to her questions dated 9/18/12. Your Pastor, aquaintance is absolutely correct! The only obedience the Father accepts from us is "perfect" obedience. The hymn "Trust and Obey" does not line up with God's Word. Trust is another word for "Faith" and of itself is "Wonderous" but when mixed with "obey", then the hymn is not singing about Grace but speaks of law, flesh and death. When you placed your faith in Christ to save you from sin, God the Father replaced your inability to "obey" God's laws with His Son's ability. By faith and nothing else you became the "Righteousness of God in him." There is no longer room for the efforts of man to please God by obedience. The Law was fulfilled by Jesus, not by man and his "religious effort to obey" (2 Cor. 5:21) "For he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (Romans 3:19-20) "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore, by the deeds of the law (or man's attempts to obey it) there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin." A better verse for the hymn should read: Trust and BELIEVE! Elaine, The Lord Bless you and you loved ones in this new year.

I especially love the last verse "Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet... Where He sends, we will go"

What a blessed soul stirring hymn, from as far back as my elementary school days when we did this hymn during the morning assembly, it has always blessed my soul and inclined me to a life of more consecration and strong desire to walk in obedience to the Master. Trust (faith) and obedience remain the surest key to a happy life in Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. I do hope that more congregations will restore the art of hymn singing in thier worship services and help the on-coming generation to tap into the depths of spirituality that hymns like this deliver to the church environment. God bless you all.

This song speaks to ME. However, I have an aquaintance who would refuse to have his congregation sing this wonderful hymn. He is stuck on the refrain "Trust and Obey, for there is no other way, to be happy in Jesus...". Are there other ways to be happy in Jesus...I mean to be truly happy in Jesus. Isn't Obedience better than sacrifice, and did He not tell us to Go!!

It gives me peace, joy and love. I always remember my parents who nurtured me in believing Jesus Christ and walk with faith in Him. Happy and inspired whenever I heard this song. I love to share what I've experienced living with Christ. I want to be a blessing to others.

Thanks for getting this song on the net. It really reminds me of the school days when we had morning assembly and quite often we sang this song. Jesus is the one whom we can trust and obey to lead a life in abundance.
