[Verse 1]
When the storm of life's a ragin’, stand by me
When the storm of life's a ragin', stand by me
When the world is tossing me like a ship out on the sea
Thou who ruleth winds and waters, 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 a-sail and my strength begins to fail
Thou who never lost a battle, stand by me
[Hummed verse]
(Stand by lord) (right now)
(Stand by me Jesus)
[Verse 3]
In the midst of persecution, stand by me
In the midst of persecution, stand by me
When my foes in battlе array undertake to stop my way
Thou who saved Paul and Silas, stand by mе
[Verse 4]
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 to the Jordan
Oh the Lily of the Valley, stand by me
Stand By Me was written by Charles Albert Tindley.
