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.
