1 I have found a help unfailing in my time of greatest need,
I am leaning on the Lord;
Unto me he has been faithful, he has proved a friend indeed;
I am leaning on the Lord.

Refrain:
I am leaning, leaning, leaning on the Lord,
I am leaning, leaning, leaning on the Lord;
He supports me hour by hour
By his all-sustaining pow’r,
I am leaning, leaning, leaning on the Lord.

2 He upholds me, he supports me with his everlasting arm;
I am leaning on the Lord;
And the tho’t of his sustaining rids my soul of all alarm;
I am leaning on the Lord. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ my body and my spirit may grow faint and sick and sore;
I am leaning on the Lord;
He refreshes me when weary, every day he helps me more;
I am leaning on the Lord. [Refrain]

4 All the frailties of this body I can surely overcome,
I am leaning on the Lord;
For I know he will sustain me, and will bear me safely home;
I am leaning on the Lord. [Refrain]
