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.
Refrain
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 nor a fear,
not a sigh nor a tear,
can abide while we trust and obey.
3
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.
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.
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.

For every resource we are entrusted, let us prove to be wise stewards, seeking the Master’s will in its use. Let us not yield to our desires to use His gifts selfishly, but let us trust His promises and obey His commands. (Lesson 12, 1st Quarter 2023 – Wednesday, “Deathbed Charity”, 3/8/23)
What a joy to trust and obey our God and to walk in the light of His Presence! When we do His good will, He abides with us, weak sinners though we be, and we are changed by each moment of communion with Him. (Lesson 4, 2nd Quarter 2023 -Monday, Fearing and Obeying God, 4/17/2023)
