For in Him, all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, wheather on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of the cross.
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!
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!
What have I to dread, what have I to fear, leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms.
REFRAIN
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.
Elisha Albright Hoffman was born on May 7, 1839, in Schuylkill County, PA, to Francis A. and Rebecca A. Hoffman. Both of his parents were originally from Germany and migrated with their families to America. His father, Francis, was a minister and worked in the church for over 60 years. Elisha learned about music from his father’s church. Elisha began singing at a young age and thought that music and singing was as involuntary as breathing or the heart pumping blood. He began leading music at his father’s church. After graduating from the local school, he went to high school and focused on science classes. Elisha soon graduated, and moved to New Berlin, PA. He attended Union Seminary which was affiliated with the Evangelical Association. At the age of 24, he enlisted as a Private in the Union Army and was discharged a month later. Two years later, he married Susan Orwig. Seven years after their marriage, Elisha became an ordained minister for the Presbyterian Church. The family moved frequently as he pastored churches in OH, MI, IL, and IN. He also began writing hymns as a pastor and helped compile over 50 hymnals. When Susan was 32, she passed away and left him as a single father of their 3 young boys. In the early part of 1879, Elisha asked Emma Smith to marry him and be a mom to his sons. A few months later they were married and she had a boy in December. In 1880, after 11 years, Elisha resigned from the Evangelical Association. Elisha, Emma, and their children moved to Cleveland, OH. Rev. Hoffman died on November 5, 1929, in Chicago, IL.
