Laudes Domini ‎#626

626. Leaning on Christ

1 Leaning on thee, my guide and friend,
My gracious Saviour, I am blest:
Though weary thou dost condescend
To be my rest.

2 Leaning on thee, with childlike faith,
To thee the future I confide;
Each step of life’s untrodden path
Thy love will guide.

3 Leaning on thee, I breathe no moan,
Tho' faint with languor, parched with heat:
Thy will has now become my own--
That will is sweet.

4 Leaning on thee, though faint and weak,
Too weak another voice to hear,
Thy heavenly accents comfort speak,
"Be of good cheer."
