Redeemed Quartet’s official music video for their cover of Leaning on the Everlasting Arms is truly uplifting.
The hymn reminds us that even when everything around us feels gloomy and uncertain, we can find hope in the name of Jesus Christ and take refuge in our Heavenly Father’s everlasting arms.
The video was filmed in a beautiful barn in northern Indiana.
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms was first published in 1887 with music by Anthony J. Showalter and lyrics by Showalter and Elisha Hoffman.
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
Showalter wrote this song after he received letters from two of his former pupils saying that their wives had died. As he wrote them letters of consolation, Showalter said he was inspired by the words in Deuteronomy 33:27, “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms”.
Refrain:
Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
What a powerful song this is with such beautiful and comforting words for this uncertain time.
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
Today, as Redeemed Quartet sings this classic hymn, we are reminded of the countless times we were wrapped tightly in the Lord’s arms, where His comfort surpassed everything else.
