Leaning on Thee Alone

Charlotte Elliott • English

Primary Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:5

Verse 1

Leaning on Thee, my guide, my Friend, My gracious Saviour, I am blest; Tho’ weary Thou dost condescend To be my rest, to be my rest.

Verse 2

Leaning on Thee, with childlike faith To Thee the future I confide; Each step of life’s untrodden path Thy Love will guide, thy Love will guide.

Verse 3

Leaning on Thee, tho’ faint and weak, Too weak another voice to hear, Thy heav’nly accents comfort speak; Be of good cheer, be of good cheer.

Verse 4

Leaning on Thee no fear alarms, Calmly I stand on death’s dark brink; I feel “The everlasting arms,” I cannot sink, I cannot sink.
