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 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. [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,[Refrain]
