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] 3 Not 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 blessed if 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, and 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; What He says we will do, where He sends we will go - Never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain] Used With Tune: TRUST AND OBEY

Jehovah! Great I AM! by earth and heav'n confessed; I bow and bless the sacred name, forever blest. 2 The God of Abraham praise, at whose supreme command from earth I rise and seek the joys at his right hand. I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame, and pow'r, and him my only portion make, my shield and tow'r. 3 He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend; I shall, on eagles' wings upborne, to heav'n ascend. I shall behold his face, I shall his pow'r adore, and sing the wonders of his grace forevermore. 4 The goodly land I see, with peace and plenty blest, a land of sacred liberty and endless rest. There milk and honey flow, and oil and wine abound, and trees of life forever grow, with mercy crowned. 5 There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness, triumphant o'er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace. On Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains, and glorious with his saints in light forever reigns. 6 The whole triumphant host gives thanks to God on high; "Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" they ever cry. Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heav'nly lays; all might and majesty are thine, and endless praise.
