What a fel-low-ship, what a joy di-vine,
Lean-ing on the ev-er-las-ting arms;
What a bless-ed-ness, what a peace is mine,
Lean-ing on the ev-er-las-ting arms.
Lean-ing, lean-ing, safe and se-cure from all a-larms,
Lean-ing, lean-ing, lean-ing on the ev-er-las-ting arms.

O how sweet to walk, in this pil-grim way,
Lean-ing on the ev-er-las-ting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day;
Lean-ing on the ev-er-las-ting arms.
Lean-ing, lean-ing, safe and se-cure from all a-larms,
Lean-ing, lean-ing, lean-ing on the ev-er-las-ting arms.

What have I to dread? What have I to fear?
Lean-ing on the ev-er-las-ting arms;
I have bless-ed peace with my Lord so near,
Lean-ing on the ev-er-las-ting arms.
Lean-ing, lean-ing, safe and se-cure from all a-larms,
Lean-ing, lean-ing, lean-ing on the ev-er-las-ting arms.
