Lyr. Add: LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARM
1887, Words Elisha A. Hoffman, Music Anthony Showalter

Refrain:
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.
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.
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 blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Words: Elisha A. Hoffman, in "The Glad Evangel for Revival, Camp, and Evangelistic Meetings." Pub. Dalton, Georgia, A. J. Showalter & Company, 1887.
