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

In the midst of tribulation
Stand by me;
In the midst of tribulation
Stand by me.
When the hosts of sin assail,
And my strength begins to fail,

Stand by me.

Stand by me;
In the midst of faults and failures

When I’ve done the best I can,
And my friends misunderstand,
Thou who knowest all about me
Stand by me.

Stand by me.
