HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 129; TRUST AND OBEY BY SAMMIS, COVER BY @OLUWATOBILOBA

The theme for the week is a lovely one basically because it gave me the chance to display my love for hymns. Hymns are something I love so much, I will say it’s because of my background in the church but I simply love hymns.

The song I sang today is one of my favorite hymns, it is surely an old hymn written by sammis (1846-1919), imagine how old this hymn is and we are still singing it till current age.

It is a song that describes the essence of having complete trust in the maker of every good thing. All we have to do, is to trust and obey, once we are able to do that, every other thing just comes to align.

The Lyrics.

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.
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]
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]
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. [Refrain]

Spanish Translation.

1 Cuando caminamos con el Señor
a la luz de su palabra,
¡Qué gloria derrama en nuestro camino!
Mientras hacemos su buena voluntad,
él permanece con nosotros todavía,
y con todos los que confiarán y obedecerán.
Abstenerse:
Confía y obedece, porque no hay otra manera
ser felices en Jesús, sino confiar y obedecer.
2 Ni una carga llevamos,
no es un dolor que compartimos,
pero nuestro trabajo él lo paga ricamente;
no es un dolor o una pérdida,
ni un ceño fruncido ni una cruz,
pero es bendito si confiamos y obedecemos. [Abstenerse]
3 Pero nunca podemos probar
las delicias de su amor
hasta que todo sobre el altar quedemos;
por el favor que muestra,
por la alegría que da,
son para los que confían y obedecen. [Abstenerse]
4 Entonces en dulce compañerismo
nos sentaremos a sus pies,
o andaremos a su lado en el camino;
lo que dice que haremos,
donde él mande iremos;
nunca temas, solo confía y obedece. [Abstenerse]
