When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way!
4        1      5             1           4

And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain

Trust and obey, for there's no other way
1     5        1          4        1
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Verse 2
5     1          4           1        5
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
1       4                    1
But His smile quickly drives it away;

Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
1         4              1
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
1       4            1
But our toil He doth richly repay;
5     1          4         1          5
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
1      4        1        5
But is blest if we trust and obey.

Verse 4
1      4         1         5           1
But we never can prove the delights of His love
4         1            5
Until all on the altar we lay;
1       4        1          5       1
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
4       1        5          1
Are for them who will trust and obey.

Verse 5
4       1                5       1      4
Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
1        5           1       4
Or we'll walk by His side in the way;
1       5            1         4           1
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go,
5           1          4
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Verse 2
1        2m       5
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
1                      1
Clouds will overspread the sky;
2m       5              1
But when trav'ling days are over,
1     2m          5
Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Verse 3
1      1            2m
Let us then be true and faithful,
5                 1
Trusting, serving every day;
1        2m             5
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
1        1        2m
Will the toils of life repay.

Verse 4
5         1         1
Onward to the prize before us!
2m              5
Soon His beauty we'll behold;
1        1            2m
Soon the pearly gates will open;
5        1                 1
We shall tread the streets of gold.
