  1. 1What 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,(Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus,)Safe and secure from all alarms;Leaning, leaning,(Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus,)Leaning on the everlasting arms.
  2. 2Oh, 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,(Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus,)Safe and secure from all alarms;Leaning, leaning,(Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus,)Leaning on the everlasting arms.
  3. 3What 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.Leaning, leaning,(Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus,)Safe and secure from all alarms;Leaning, leaning,(Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus,)Leaning on the everlasting arms.
