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.

 

[Refrain]

Leaning, leaning,

Safe and secure from all alarms;

Leaning, leaning,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

 

2 Oh, how sweet to walk

In this pilgrim way,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;

Oh, how bright the path

Grows from day to day,

Leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain]

 

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]
