What a fellowship of what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness what a peace of mind
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Leaning, leaning safe and secure from all alarms
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 goes from day to day
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What have I did 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
