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.

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 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.

Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
And the joy He bestows,

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;

Never fear, only trust and obey.

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.

My dad said this was his mom's favorite song. She sang it over and over during WWII to help her trust God to be with her sons serving their country (USA). I have always loved it and the Lord brings it to me whenever I need Him the most. Yes, God bless those men and women of God who wrote these wonderful old hymns!
