Author: J. H. Sammis Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #400 (1929) Meter: 6.6.9.6.6.9 with chorus Incipit: 12332 11355 43 First Line: When we walk with the Lord Refrain First Line: Trust and obey, for there's no other way Lyrics: 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:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.
2. 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 nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey. [Chorus]
3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey. [Chorus]
4. 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]
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. [Chorus]
