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.

[Refrain] 4 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] 5 Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet, Or we’ll walk by His side in the way; For the favor He shows, and the joy He bestows Are for them who will trust and obey.

[Refrain] 3 Though in trial I suffer, He keeps me content, Sees before me the dangers prepared; And in mercy His wisdom the flames may have sent, That my soul greater woe might be spared.
