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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
What have I to dread? What have I to fear?
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
I have blessèd peace
With my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
