509. Trust and Obey

1 When we walk with the Lord
in the light of His Word
what a glory He sheds on our way!
Let us 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 does 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
and the joy He bestows
are for those 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]
