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

When the midst of tribulation stand by me when the midst of tribulation stand by me

When the hosts of hell assail and my strength begins to fail

Thou who never lost a battle stand by me

[ guitar ]

When the midst of faults and failures stand by me

When the midst of faults and failures stand by me

When I do the best I can and my friends misunderstand

Thou who knowest all about me 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 (stand by me)
