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

G
Leaning, leaning,
C                            G
Safe and secure from all alarms;
G
Leaning, leaning,
G              D              G
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
