Sheet music

  1. 1When we walk with the LordIn 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 wayTo be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
  2. 2Not a shadow can rise,Not a cloud in the skies,But His smile quickly drives it away;Not a doubt nor a fear,Not a sigh nor a tear,Can abide while we trust and obey.Trust and obey, for there’s no other wayTo be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
  3. 3Not 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 nor a cross,But is blest if we trust and obey.Trust and obey, for there’s no other wayTo be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
  4. 4But we never can proveThe delights of His loveUntil all on the altar we lay;For the favor He shows,For the joy He bestows,Are for those who will trust and obey.Trust and obey, for there’s no other wayTo be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
  5. 5Then in fellowship sweetWe 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.Trust and obey, for there’s no other wayTo be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
