G C What a fel-low-ship, what a joy di-vine, G D Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms, G C What a bless-ed-ness, what a peace is mine, G D G Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms. [Chorus] G C G D Lean-ing, lean-ing, Safe and se-cure from all a-larms, G C G D G Lean-ing, lean-ing, lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms. G C Oh, how sweet to walk in this pil-grim way, G D Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms, G C Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, G D G Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms. G C What have I to dread, what have I to fear, G D Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms? G C I have bless-ed peace with my Lord so near, G D G Lean-ing on the ev-er-last-ing arms.
