Fierce and Wild the Storm Is Raging

(I'LL STAND BY YOU )

W. W. D.

James McGranham

1. Fierce and wild the storm is raging
   Round a helpess bark,
   On to doom 'tis swiftly driving,
   O'er the waters dark!
   
2. 
   CHORUS:
   ⁠Joy, behold the Saviour,
   ⁠Joy, the message hear,
   ⁠I'll stand by until the morning
   ⁠I've come to save you, do not fear,
   ⁠Yes, stand by until the morning,
   ⁠I've come to save you, do not fear,
   
3. Weary, helpless, hopeless seamen
   Fainting on the deck,
   With what joy they hail their Saviour,
   As he hails the wreck !
   ⁠Chorus
   
4. On a wild and storm y ocean,
   Sinking neath the wave,
   Souls that perish heed the message
   Christ has come to save !
   ⁠Chorus
   
5. Daring death thy soul to rescue,
   He in love has come,
   Leave the wreck and in him trusting,
   Thou shalt reach thy home !
   ⁠Chorus
   A-men.
