Weary of walk­ing alone,
Long heavy la­den with sin,
Toiling all night with­out Christ,
Rest for my soul shall I win?

Refrain

Leaning on Je­sus,
Leaning on Je­sus,
One whom He lov­eth,
I walk at His side;
Leaning in trust
On the arms ev­er­last­ing,
Leaning in peace
On the heart of my guide.

Fearing to stand for my Lord,
Trembling for weak­ness in pray­er,
Yet on the bo­som di­vine,
Losing each sor­row and fear.

Refrain

Anxious no long­er for self,
Shrinking no long­er from pain,
Leaning on Je­sus alone,
He all my care will sus­tain.

Refrain

Leaning, I walk in the Way;
Leaning, the Truth I shall know;
Leaning on heart throbs of Christ,
Safe in­to Life I may go.
