Let Me Lean Harder On Thee

1 Veiled is the future before me;
Life's checkered pathway I climb,
God in his goodness revealing
Only one step at a time.
Will the tomorrow be clouded?
Will it bring sunshine for me?
Let me lean harder, dear Saviour,
Let me lean harder on thee.

Chorus:
Let me lean harder on thee,
Let me lean harder on thee,
Thro' storm and thro' sunshine, dear Saviour,
Let me lean harder on thee.

2 Earth's dearest ties must be broken,
Time's sweetest roses decay;
Words of farewell must be spoken,
Evening will follow the day.
Still, waves of joy roll around me,
Swelling from love's boundless sea,
While I lean harder, dear Saviour,
While I lean harder on thee. [Chorus]

3 Sometime, I'll come to the valley,
Where a grim shadow is thrown;
No human friend can go with me,
Leave me, O Lord, not alone!
Till that bright, beautiful morning,
When all the darkness shall flee,
Let me lean harder, dear Saviour,
Let me lean harder on thee. [Chorus]
