Stand by Me

1. 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.

2. In the midst of faults and failures, stand by me;

In 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.

3. In the midst of tribulations, stand by me;

In the midst of tribulations, stand by me.

When the pow’rs of sin assail and my strength begins to fail,

Thou who never lost a battle, stand by me.
