Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

G                  C
What a fellowship, what a joy divine
G                          D7
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
G,                  C
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine
G                  D       G
Leaning on the everlasting arms.


Chorus:

         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.


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.
