 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!

 

      Leaning, leaning,

Safe and secure from all alarms;

      Leaning, leaning,

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!

 

      Leaning, leaning,

Safe and secure from all alarms;

      Leaning, leaning,

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!

 

 3  What have I to dread, what have I to fear,

       Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!

    I have peace complete with my Lord so near,

       Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!

 

      Leaning, leaning,

Safe and secure from all alarms;

      Leaning, leaning,

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!
