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
When amidst tribulation, stand by me
When amidst tribulation, stand by me
When the foes of hell assail and my strength begins to fail
Thou who never lost a battle, stand by me
When amidst faults and failures, stand by me
When amidst 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
When I'm growin' old and feeble, stand by me
When I'm growin' old and feeble, stand by me
When my life becomes a burden and I'm nearin' chilly Jordan
Oh, Thou Lily of the Valley, stand by me
