Verse 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 pounding me
Like a ship upon the sea
Lord who rules the wind and water stand by me
Verse 2
In the midst of tribulation stand by me
In the midst of tribulation stand by me
When the hosts of hell assail
And my strength begins to fail
Lord who never lost a battle stand by me
Verse 3
In the midst of faults and failures stand by me
In the midst of faults and failures stand by me
When I've done the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
Lord who knows all about me stand by me
Verse 4
In the midst of persecution stand by me
In the midst of persecution stand by me
When my foes in war array
Undertake to stop my way
Lord who saved Paul and Silas stand by me
Verse 5
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
Lord the Lily of the Valley stand by me
