STAND  BY ME

When the storm of life are raging
When the storm of life are raging
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship up on the sea
Thou who rulest wind and water


In the midst of tribulation
In the midst of tribulation
When the host of hell assail,
And my strength begins to fail
Thou who never lost a battle


In the midst of fault and failures
Stand by me (stand by me)
In the midst of failures
Stand by me (stand by me)
When I’ve done the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
Thou who knowest all about me
Stand by me (stand by me)


In the midst of persecution
In the midst of persecution
When my foes in war array
Undertake to stop my way
Thou who saved Paul and Silas


When I’m growing old and feeble
When I’m growing old and feeble
When my life becomes a burden
And I’m nearing chilly Jordan
O Thou Lily of Valley
