What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

leaning on the everlasting arms;

what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,

safe and secure from all alarms;

leaning, leaning,

I’m leaning on the everlasting arms.

Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,

leaning on the everlasting arms;

oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,

safe and secure from all alarms;

leaning, leaning,

I’m leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,

leaning on the everlasting arms?

I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,

safe and secure from all alarms;

leaning, leaning,

I’m leaning on the everlasting arms.

Che compagnia, che gioia divina, giacere nell’abbraccio senza fine; che benedizione, che pace in me.

Giacendo, certo e al sicuro davanti ad ogni pericolo, nell’abbraccio senza fine. 

Che bello camminare in questo pellegrinaggio; come si rende sempre più chiaro il percorso, giorno dopo giorno. 

Cosa devo combattere, cosa devo temere, se sono nelle braccia dell’Eterno? C’è la pace benedetta con il mio Signore qui vicino.
