13. Leaning on Jesus, Blessed Redeemer

1 Leaning on Jesus, blessed Redeemer,
Casting on Him all the cares of the day;
Faithfully foll’wing wherever He leadeth,
Glad is my heart, and bright is the way.

Refrain:
Leaning on Jesus, leaning on Jesus,
Singing His praise the whole day long;
He is my refuge, my Lord and Redeemer,
Jesus, my hope, my joy and my song.

2 Leaning on Jesus, blessed Redeemer,
Trusting in Him gladly onward I move;
Sorrow is lost in the joy of His presence,—
Even the night is bright with His love. [Refrain]

3 Leaning on Jesus, blessed Redeemer,
Singing His love I will travel along;
In the dark valley of shadows I’ll praise Him,
Jesus, my hope, my joy and my song. [Refrain]
