Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms!

chorus:
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms!
O how bright the path grows from day to day.
Leaning on the everlasting arms!

chorus:
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms!
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms!

chorus:
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.
