Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A beloved American hymn written in 1887 by John H. Sammis, inspired by a testimony heard at a D.L. Moody revival meeting. It calls believers to simple, wholehearted obedience and trust in Christ as the path to joy.
Verse 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 to 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.
Verse 2
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.
Refrain
Trust and obey,
for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey.
Verse 3
But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the
altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them 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.
Verse 4
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.
Refrain
Trust and obey,
for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey.
