1 Lean sweetly on Jesus, O child of His care,
Each heart throb of anguish He waiteth to share;
Lean sweetly on Jesus when earth skies are dim,
When stars veil their luster, oh, cling thou to Him.

Refrain:
O cling thou to Him; O cling thou to Him;
Lean sweetly on Jesus, lean sweetly on Jesus;
Lean sweetly on Jesus, O cling thou to Him.

2 Lean sweetly on Jesus, He knoweth thy fears;
Lean sweetly on Jesus, He seeth thy tears;
No friend like the Savior so deeply can feel,
And though He may wound thee, ’tis only to heal. [Refrain]

3 Lean sweetly on Jesus, O child of His grace,
Nor think for one moment He hideth His face;
That soul cheering promise is firm as His throne—
He will not desert thee, nor leave thee alone. [Refrain]

4 Lean sweetly on Jesus, O child of His love;
How tenderly o’er thee He bends from above;
How kindly and gently He whispers to thee—
"I am thy Redeemer, then rest thou in Me." [Refrain]

5 Lean sweetly on Jesus whatever befall;
Go hide in His mercy and trust Him for all;
Hold fast to thy anchor tho’ earth skies are dim,
With faith never failing, abide thou in Him. [Refrain]
