1 I have found sweet rest for my weary soul,
Found a harbor safe tho’ the billows roll;
Found a Mighty One who can storms control,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Chorus:
Oh, the everlasting arms how they hold me,
Ever hold me, and enfold me;
I am safe in life or death, for around and underneath
Are the mighty, everlasting arms.

2 When my way grows dark and no light I see,
When my friends forsake and life’s comforts flee;
Then I know His grace will sufficient be,
Leaning on the everlasting arms. [Chorus]

3 When my faith is weak He is near my side,
When my heart grows faint He will strength provide;
When the dangers press then will seas divide,
Leaning on the everlasting arms. [Chorus]

4 There is naught too hard for my Lord to do,
I can safely trust all life’s journey thro’;
He will bear me up and my burdens too,
Leaning on the everlasting arms. [Chorus]
