LEARNING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS

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.

OH HOW SWEET TO WALK IN THIS PILGRIM WAY LEANING
ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS. OH HOW BRIGHT THE PATCH
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,
LEANING, LEANING SAFE AND SECURE FROM ALL ALARMS;
LEANING, LEANING, LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS.
