What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
   Leaning on the everlasting arms;
   What a blessedness, what peace is mine,
   leaning on the everlasting arms.
  
   Chorus:
  
   Leaning, leaning,
   Safe and secure from all alarms;
   Leaning, leaning,
   Leaning on the everlasting arms.
  
   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.
  
   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.
