Author: Charles Albert Tindley Hymnal: Zion still Sings #164 (2007) Topics: Order of Service Prayer First Line: When the storms of life are raging, stand by me Lyrics: 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 the wind and water, stand by me.
2 In the midst of tribulation, stand by me;
in the midst of tribulation, stand by me.
When the hosts of hell assail,
and my strength begins to fail,
thou who never lost a battle, stand by me.
3 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.
4 In the midst of persecution, stand by me;
in the midst of persecution, stand by me.
When my foes in battle array
undertake to stop my way,
thou who saved Paul and Silas, stand by me.
5 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 chilly Jordan,
O thou "Lily of the Valley," stand by me. Languages: English Tune Title: [When the storms of life are raging, stand by me]
