[Verse 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

[Chorus]
Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms

[Verse 2]
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]
