Leaning on the Everlasting Arms/The Everlasting Arms

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.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, 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.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.


I have found sweet rest for my weary soul,
Found a harbor safe tho' the billows roll;
Found a Mighty one who can storms control,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Oh, the everlasting arms how they hold me!
Ever hold me, and enfold me!
I am safe in life or death, for around and underneath
Are the mighty, everlasting arms.


There is naught too hard for my Lord to do;
I can safely trust all life's journey thro',
He will bear me up and my burdens too,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Oh, the everlasting arms how they hold me!
Ever hold me, and enfold me!
I am safe in life or death, for around and underneath
Are the mighty, everlasting arms.

Oh, the everlasting arms how they hold me!
Ever hold me, and enfold me!
I am safe in life or death, for around and underneath
Are the mighty, everlasting arms.
