Have you ever had a song in your heart to sing but couldn't remember all the words?? Well, I did! Lol this old hymn that was written, like, over a century ago called "Trust and Obey" speaks to ny heart so at this time in my life. I've sang this song countless times in my youth but it has NEVER meant anything to me until now! I praise God for this song because the lyrics lift my spirit soo much! It encourages me and helps rememeber the truth of th matter is alwyas the same regardless of the situation, the peopl involved, the time of year or the emotional rollercoaster that I may be going through. This song reminds me of the stability and consistency I have in Christ so of course, I decided to post it. Enjoy!
Trust and Obey
Hymn Writer ~ John H. Sammis, 1846-1919
Hymn Music ~ Daniel B. Towner, 1850-1919
Stanza 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.
Stanza 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)
Stanza 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)
Stanza 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.
