Leaning

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms by Robert Mitchum and Lilian Gish.
Scene taken from The Night of the Hunter. Song written by Anthony J. Showalter (1887).
Motionless Gish awaits the next move from the children hunter. The hunter sings.
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms
Midway into the song, Gish – the children protector - joins in singing.
Lean on Jesus, lean on Jesus, safe and secure from all alarms
Lean on Jesus, lean on Jesus, leaning on the everlasting arms
A magnificent scene of fearless good facing fearsome evil.
It is the evil that sings the true lines.
The devil has the best tunes.
