Verse 1 
    A       E 
In the   dark of the midnight have I     oft hid my face, 
        D       A 
While the storm howls above me, and there's      no hiding       place. 
        D 
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious          Lord, hear my cry, 
        A       E       A 
Keep me          safe till the   storm passes    by. 
 
Chorus 1 
        E       A 
Till the         storm passes over, till the     thunder sounds no more, 
        B7      E 
Till the         clouds roll forever from the    sky; 
        A       D       A 
Hold me          fast, let me stand in the       hollow of Thy   hand, 
        E       A 
Keep me safe till the    storm passes    by. 
 
Verse 2 
        E 
Many times Satan whispered, "There is    no need to try, 
        D       A 
For there's no end of sorrow, there's no         hope by and     by" 
        D 
But I know Thou art with me, and         tomorrow I'll rise 
        A       E       A 
Where the        storms never    darken the      skies. 
 
Chorus 2 
 
When the long night has ended and the    storms come no more, 
        D       A 
Let me stand in Thy presence on the      bright peaceful         shore; 
        D 
In that land where the tempest, never    comes, Lord, may I 
        A       E       A 
Dwell with       Thee when the   storm passes    by.
