Leaning On The Everlasting Arms

 Deuteronomy 33:27  The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

So thankful the good Lord didn’t leave us helpless in this wearisome world. 


We can lean on Him for strength and comfort. The battle is His.


Leaning 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.


CHORUS:

Leaning, leaning,    —    Safe and secure from all alarms;    —    

Leaning, leaning,    —    Leaning on the everlasting arms.


Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,    —    Leaning on the everlasting arms;    —    Oh, how bright the path 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. - - -


Elisha A. Hoffman  1887
