G                  C
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
G                          D
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
G                   C
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
G                  D       G
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

chorus:

   G        C
   Leaning, leaning,
   G                         D
   Safe and secure from all alarms;
   G        C
   Leaning, leaning,
   G                  D       G
   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.
(chorus)

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.
(chorus)
