• Lyrics:
  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.
  
  chorus:
  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.
  
  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.
