Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

Words by Elisha Albright Hoffman, 18873 verses

Organ, every verse, the words light up as you sing. Tune: Showalter.

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, after each verseLeaning, 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.
