The Everlasting Arms

I have found sweet rest for my weary soul,

Found a harbor safe, tho’ the billows roll,

Found a mighty One who can storms control,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

When my way grows dark and no light I see,

When my friends forsake and life’s comforts flee,

Then I know His grace will sufficient be,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

When my faith is weak He is near my side;

When my heart grows faint He will strength provide;

When the dangers press then will seas divide,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

There is naught too hard for my Lord to do;

I can safely trust all life’s journey thro’;

He will bear me up, and my burdens too,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Chorus

Oh, the everlasting arms how they hold me,

Ever hold me and enfold me;

I am safe in life or death for around and underneath

Are the mighty, everlasting arms.
