Lean Harder on Jesus

C. B. Widmeyer • English

Primary Scripture: John 13:32

Verse 1

Lean harder on Jesus, He'll care for thee, He purchased thy freedom on Calv'ry's tree; 'Twas love filled with sorrow, caused Him to die, To fit thee a mansion He came from on high.

Verse 2

Lean harder on Jesus, rest on His breast, Like John the Beloved there thou art blest; He'll tell thee His secrets, make plain thy way, And lead thee to Eden, eternity's day.

Verse 3

Lean harder on Jesus, be not dismayed, His grace is sufficient, He'll give thee aid; He'll lift up a standard, and stem the flood, Thus conquer in trial through His precious blood.

Verse 4

Lean harder on Jesus, trust in His word, His precepts are precious, sweetest e'er heard; He'll bring thee to glory, on heaven's shore, There thou shalt be safe with Him for evermore.
