768. What a fellowship, what a joy divine

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!

3 What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessèd peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
