Lean Sweetly on Jesus

Lean sweet­ly on Je­sus

O child of His care

Each heart throb of ang­uish He wait­eth to share;

Lean sweet­ly on Je­sus when earth skies are dim

When stars veil their lus­ter

oh

cling thou to Him.

O cling thou to Him; O cling thou to Him;

Lean sweet­ly on Je­sus

lean sweet­ly on Je­sus;

Lean sweet­ly on Je­sus

O cling thou to Him.

Lean sweet­ly on Je­sus

He know­eth thy fears;

Lean sweet­ly on Je­sus

He seeth thy tears;

No friend like the Sav­ior so deep­ly can feel

And though He may wound thee

’tis on­ly to heal.

Lean sweet­ly on Je­sus

O child of His grace

Nor think for one mo­ment He hid­eth His face;

That soul cheer­ing pro­mise is firm as His throne—

He will not de­sert thee

nor leave thee alone.

Lean sweet­ly on Je­sus

O child of His love;

How ten­der­ly o’er thee He bends from above;

How kind­ly and gent­ly He whis­pers to thee—

I am thy Re­deem­er

then rest thou in Me.

Lean sweet­ly on Je­sus what­ev­er be­fall;

Go hide in His mer­cy and trust Him for all;

Hold fast to thy an­chor tho’ earth skies are dim

With faith nev­er fail­ing

abide thou in Him.
