1 Lean on the mighty arm of Jesus,
Hide in the hollow of His hand;
'Neath His protecting wings abide you,
Firm on the Rock of Ages stand.
Refrain:
Lean on His arm,
Hide in the hollow of His hand!
Lean on His arm,
Firm on the Rock of Ages stand.
2 Lean on the mighty arm of Jesus,
Wait you not for the morning dawn;
Ev'night of life may come and find you,
And with your strength and courage gone. [Refrain]
3 Lean on the mighty arm of Jesus,
For 'tis the only refuge sure;
Let not another's invitation,
Now from this hope, your soul allure. [Refrain]
4 Lean on the mighty arm of Jesus,
And of His boundless mercy share;
Drink of the ever living fountain,
Down by the Rock of Ages there. [Refrain]
