verse 2
In the midst of trib-u-la-tions, Stand by me,
In the midst of trib-u-la-tions, Stand by me;
When the hosts of hell as-sail,
And my strenth begins to fail,
Thou who never lost a bat-tle, Stand by me.

verse 3
In the midts of falts and fail-ures, Stand by me,
In the midts of falts and fail-ures, Stand by me,
When I do the best I can,
And my friends mis-un-der-stand,
Tho who knowest all a-bout me, Stand by me.

verse 4
In the midts of per-se-cu-tion, Stand by me,
In the midts of per-se-cu-tion, Stand by me,
When my foes in battle ar-ray,
Un-der-take to stop my way,
Thou who saved Paul and Si-las, Stand by me.

verse 5
When I’m grow-ing old any fee-ble, Stand by me,
When I’m grow-ing old any fee-ble, Stand by me,
When my life becomes a bur-den,
And I’m near-in chilly Jor-dan,
O thou Lil-y of the Val-ly, Stand by me.
