Lyrics

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

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

In the midst of faults and fail­ures, Stand by me (stand by me); In the midst of faults and fail­ures, Stand by me (stand by me); When I do 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, Stand by me (stand by me); In the midst of per­se­cu­tion, Stand by me (stand by me); When my foes in bat­tle ar­ray Undertake to stop my way, Thou who sav­èd Paul and Si­las, Stand by me (stand by me).

When I’m grow­ing old and fee­ble, Stand by me (stand by me); When I’m grow­ing old and fee­ble, Stand by me (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).
