Stand By Me

When the storms of life are raging ... Stand by me;
When the storms of life are raging ... Stand by me;
When the world is tossing me ... Like a ship upon the sea;
Thou who rulest wind and water ... Stand by me.


In the midst of tribulations ... Stand by me;
In the midst of tribulations ... Stand by me;
When the hosts of hell assail ... And my strength begins to fail,
Thou who never lost a battle ... Stand by me.


When I'm growing old and feeble ... Stand by me;
When I'm growing old and feeble ... Stand by me;
When my life becomes a burden ... And I'm nearing chilly Jordan, O Thou "Lily of the Valley" ... Stand by me.
