Stirring arrangement of Towner's classic hymn, Trust

One night a young man rose in a testimony meeting and
said, “I am not quite sure-but I am going to trust,
and I am going to obey.” I just jotted that sentence

well-known hymn. Moody and his songleader, Ira D.
Sankey, started using the piece in their crusades, and
the rest is history.
