When we walk with the Lord

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!

Trust and obey!
For there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey.

2. When the shadows arise,
or when clouds fill the skies,
he can turn all the darkness to day;
in the midst of our tears,
in our doubts and our fears,
we are kept as we trust and obey.

3. Every burden we bear,
every sorrow we share,
he will work for our good, as we pray;
every grief, every loss,
every frown, every cross
will be blessed as we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove
the extent of his love,
though our all on the altar we lay;
yet what favour he shows,
and what joy he bestows
upon all who will trust and obey!

5. Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at his feet,
or we’ll walk by his side all the way;
what he says we will do,
where he sends we will go-
never fear, only trust and obey!
