(Bb)When we (F)walk with (C7)the (F)Lord in the (C)light of (C7)His (F)Word, what a (Bb)glo ry He (F)sheds on our (C)way!

While we (F)do His (C7)good (F)will, He a (C)bides with (C7)us (F)still, and with (Bb)all who will (F)trust and (C7)o (F)bey.

(C)Trust and (C)o (F)bey, for there’s (D)no oth (D7)er (Gm)way to be (C7)hap py in (F)Je sus, but to (F)trust and (C7)o (F)bey.

(Bb)Not a (F)shad ow (C7)can (F)rise, not a (C)cloud in (C7)the (F)skies, but His (Bb)smile quick ly (F)drives it a (C)way.

Not a (F)doubt nor (C7)a (F)fear, not a (C)sigh nor (C7)a (F)tear can a (Bb)bide while we (F)trust and (C7)o (F)bey.

(C)Trust and (C)o (F)bey, for there’s (D)no oth (D7)er (Gm)way to be (C7)hap py in (F)Je sus, but to (F)trust and (C7)o (F)bey.

(Bb)Not a (F)bey.
