Leaning On the Everlasting Arms

 

 1  

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!  

2  

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!  

3  

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!    

REFRAIN:  

Leaning (on Jesus), leaning (on Jesus),  

Safe and secure from all alarms;  

Leaning (on Jesus), leaning (on Jesus),  

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.  

 

Lyrics: Elisha Albright Hoffman (1839-1929)
