10746. Leaning On Jesus

1 Weary of walking alone,
Long heavy laden with sin,
Toiling all night without Christ,
Rest for my soul shall I win?

Refrain:
Leaning on Jesus,
Leaning on Jesus,
One whom He loveth,
I walk at His side;
Leaning in trust
On the arms everlasting,
Leaning in peace
On the heart of my guide.

2 Fearing to stand for my Lord,
Trembling for weakness in prayer,
Yet on the bosom divine,
Losing each sorrow and fear. [Refrain]

3 Anxious no longer for self,
Shrinking no longer from pain,
Leaning on Jesus alone,
He all my care will sustain. [Refrain]

4 Leaning, I walk in "The Way";
Leaning, "The Truth" I shall know;
Leaning on heart throbs of Christ,
Safe into "Life" I may go. [Refrain]
