Tindley, 1851-1933 Meter: 11.11.7.7.11 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71:18 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’ve done the best I can, and my friends misunderstand, thou who knowest all about me, stand by me. 4 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. Used With Tune: STAND BY ME

Sin like a venomous disease

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71:22-24 Lyrics: Sin, like a venomous disease, Infects our vital blood; The only balm is sovereign grace, And the physician, God. Our beauty and our strength are fled, And we draw near to death; But Christ the Lord recalls the dead With his almighty breath. Madness by nature reigns within, The passions burn and rage, Till God's own Son, with skill divine, The inward fire assuage. [We lick the dust, we grasp the wind, And solid good despise; Such is the folly of the mind, Till Jesus makes us wise. We give our souls the wounds they feel, We drink the pois'nous gall, And rush with fury down to hell; But Heav'n prevents the fall.] [The man possessed among the tombs Cuts his own flesh, and cries; He foams and raves, till Jesus comes, And the foul spirit flies.] Topics: Courage in death; Hope of resurrection; Resurrection of the saints; Death and the resurrection; Resurrection and death; Aged saint's reflection and hope; Christ our strength and righteousness; Old age and resurrection; Psalm for old age; Righteousness from Christ; Strength from Christ
