636. When We Walk with the Lord (Para andar con Jesús)

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
And the joy he bestows
Are for those 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]

1 Para andar con Jesús
no hay senda mejor
que guardar sus mandatos de amor;
obedientes a él
siempre habremos de ser,
y tendremos de Cristo el poder.

Estribillo:
Obedecer y confiar en Jesús,
es la senda marcada
para andar en la luz.

2 Quien siguiere a Jesús
ni una sombra verá,
si confiado su vida le da;
ni terrores ni afán,
ni ansiedad ni dolor,
pues lo cuida su amante Señor. [Estribillo]

3 Mas sus dones de amor
nunca habréis de alcanzar,
si rendidos no vais a su altar,
pues su paz y su amor
sólo son para aquel
que a sus leyes divinas es fiel. [Estribillo]

4 Cuando vamos así,
¡cómo brilla la luz
en la senda al andar con Jesús!
Su promesa de estar
con los suyos es fiel,
si obedecen y esperan en él. [Estribillo]
