1 Lean harder on Jesus, He'll care for thee,
He purchased thy freedom on Calv'ry's tree;
'Twas love filled with sorrow, caused Him to die,
To fit thee a mansion He came from on high.
2 Lean harder on Jesus, rest on His breast,
Like John the Beloved there thou art blest;
He'll tell thee His secrets, make plain thy way,
And lead thee to Eden, eternity's day.
3 Lean harder on Jesus, be not dismayed,
His grace is sufficient, He'll give thee aid;
He'll lift up a standard, and stem the flood,
Thus conquer in trial through His precious blood.
4 Lean harder on Jesus, trust in His word,
His precepts are precious, sweetest e'er heard;
He'll bring thee to glory, on heaven's shore,
There thou shalt be safe with Him for evermore.
