Leaning On The Everlasting Arms

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms is a hymn of refuge for us. It was published in 1887 by Anthony J. Showalter and lyrics by Showalter and Elisha Hoffman. What do we have to dread or fear as long as we are leaning on the everlasting arms of our eternal God? "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms..." Deuteronomy 33:27. 

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. 

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.

Refrain

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Love in Christ,
