Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS

Traditional hymn

Heard for the first time at a music party in 1970 after a Pete Seeger concert where songs of all kinds were sung by iconic folksingers who filled the living room, a woman's voice rang out with this Carter family hymn and all there harmonized instantly and a deep comfort was felt by all there. I'll never forgot it.

You can play along on the May 13, 2020 Quality Folk Dojo on YouTube, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms at 56:20 near the end of dojo. You can pair this song with the one before it, "I Can't Wait" (53:00) to exercise mixing two songs of similar form and nature into a composite.
