  1. 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
     Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
     Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

  2. 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.

   Refrain

  3. 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.

   Refrain
