Refrain: Jesus, ever precious Jesus, I am leaning, ever leaning on Thy breast; Closely folded to Thy bosom, Let me ever, loving Savior, sweetly rest. Closely folded to Thy bosom, Let me evermore abide, Safely sheltered from the tempest, Till I pass beyond the tide. Then I’ll gladly join the chorus, Sung by angel choirs above, Sweetly singing all Thy praises, In the realms of endless love.

Now I’m resting, sweetly resting
On my Jesus’ loving breast;
How He soothes my troubled spirit,
Sinks me into perfect rest.
- Refrain:
  Jesus, ever precious Jesus,
  I am leaning, ever leaning on Thy breast;
  Closely folded to Thy bosom,
  Let me ever, loving Savior, sweetly rest.
Closely folded to Thy bosom,
Let me evermore abide,
Safely sheltered from the tempest,
Till I pass beyond the tide.
Then I’ll gladly join the chorus,
Sung by angel choirs above,
Sweetly singing all Thy praises,
In the realms of endless love.
