Trust & Obey for there is NO other way to be Happy in Jesus!

The music for this song was composed by D. B. Towner, the first director of music at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. The inspiration for the hymn’s writing came in 1886 during and occasion when Towner was leading singing for D. L. Moody in Brockton, Massachusetts.  In a testimony service, he heard a young man say, “I am not quite sure – but I am going to trust, and I am going to obey.”

Towner jotted down the words and sent them to his friend J. H. Sammis, a Presbyterian minister, who developed the idea into a full hymn. The refrain came first – it is a capsule version of the entire song – and the verses came later.

  1. L. Moody said in one occasion: 

The Blood of Christ alone makes us safe. The Word of God alone makes us sure.  Obedience to God makes us happy.

This old-time gospel hymn was written based on Proverbs 3:1-8

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.

Refrain 
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His Feet Or we will walk by His Side in the way;  What He Says we will do, and where He sends we will go; Never fear, only trust and obey

Refrain 
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

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 blessed if we trust and obey.

Refrain 
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

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 

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
