Leaning on Jesus Alone

lyricist: Jennie Wilson, 1906
Composer: Newton Allphin

All the way thro’ this life

with its la­bor and strife

I am lean­ing on Jesus

alone;

Every hour He is near

speak­ing sweet words of cheer.

I am lean­ing on Jesus alone.

I am leaning on Jesus alone

I am leaning on Jesus alone

Human friend ne’er can be half so precious to me

I am leaning on Jesus alone.

As the days hast­en by

on His care I rely

I am lean­ing on Je­sus alone

There is naught that can harm

while I cling to His arm

I am lean­ing on Je­sus alone.

When temptations assail

thro’ His strength I prevail

I am leaning on Jesus alone;

Tho’ deep sorrow is mine

I have comfort divine

I am leaning on Jesus alone.

As He guides me in love to His bright home above

I am leaning on Jesus alone;

And I journey along

with my soul filled with song

I am leaning on Jesus alone.
