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.




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)




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
