16976. Leaning on Jesus Alone

1. All the way thro’ this life, with its la­bor and strife,
I am lean­ing on Jesus, alone;
Every hour He is near, speak­ing sweet words of cheer.
I am lean­ing on Jesus alone.

Refrain

I am leaning on Jesus alone,
I am leaning on Jesus alone,
Human friend ne’er can be half so precious to me,
I am leaning on Jesus alone.

2. As the days hast­en by, on His care I rely,
I am lean­ing on Je­sus alone,
There is naught that can harm, while I cling to His arm,
I am lean­ing on Je­sus alone.

Refrain

3. When temptations assail, thro’ His strength I prevail,
I am leaning on Jesus alone;
Tho’ deep sorrow is mine, I have comfort divine,
I am leaning on Jesus alone.

Refrain

4. As He guides me in love to His bright home above,
I am leaning on Jesus alone;
And I journey along, with my soul filled with song,
I am leaning on Jesus alone.

Refrain
