Postlude

Trust and Obey

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. 

CHORUS:

Trust and obey, for there's no other way

To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey

Not a shadow can rise, 

Not a cloud in the skies, 

But His smile quickly drives it away; 

Not a doubt or a fear, 

Not a sigh or a tear, 

Can remain when we trust and obey. 

[CHORUS]

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. 

[CHORUS]

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. 

[CHORUS]

To God Be the Glory

To God be the glory—great things He hath done! 

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, 

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, 

And opened the lifegate that all may go in. 

CHORUS:

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

Let the earth hear His voice! 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

Let the people rejoice! 

O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son, 

And give Him the glory—great things He hath done. 

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, 

To every believer the promise of God; 

The vilest offender who truly believes, 

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives. 

[CHORUS]

Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, 

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son; 

But purer, and higher, and greater will be 

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. 

[CHORUS]
