71.  Stand By Me

 

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);

2.

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);

3.

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).

3.

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);

5.

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 burd'n, And I’m nearing chilly Jord'n, O thou “Lily of the Valley,” Stand by me (stand by me);
