Stand by me
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the world is tossing me

Like a ship out on the sea

Thou who rulest wind and water

Stand by me
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I do the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
