Stand By Me
(Charles Albert Tindley)

When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the wind is tossing me
Like a ship upon the sea
Thou who rulest wind and water
Stand by me

In the midst of tribulation
Stand by me
Midst of tribulation
Stand by me
When the hosts of hell prevail
And my strength starts to fail
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me

When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I do the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
O Thou "Lily of the Valley"
Stand by me

Stand By Me
(Charles Albert Tindley)

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 saved 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)
