“The Old Ship of Zion” performed by Angie Sutherland and Family. _________________________ The Old Ship of Zion Music by Daniel Towner; Lyrics by M. J. Cartwright

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

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 abide while we 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

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

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

Lyrics: John H. Sammis, 1887 Music: Daniel B. Towner
