4 -4   5   5 -5   6 5
In the dark of the midnight
-4 5 -5   5 6   -5
Have I oft hid my face
6   -6   -7    -6   6 -7 -6
While the storm howls above me
6    -5    -6 6 -5    5
And there’s no hiding place
4 -4    5   5 -5   6 5
Mid the crash of the thunder
-4 4    -6   -6 -7 7
Precious Lord hear my cry
-6 -6 6    4 -4    5   -4 -4 4
Keep me safe til the storm passes by

Chorus:
5   5   -4   -4 5 -5 -4
Til the storm passes over
5 -5   6 6    6 -5 5   6
Til the thunder sounds no more
6   6    -6    -6 -6 -6 -5 6   -6 -7
Til the clouds roll for-ev-er from the sky
-7 -7 7    7 7    6   7   7   -8 7
Hold me fast let me stand in the hollow
7 -6   6    -6 -6 6
Of thy hand keep me safe
4 -4    5   -4 -4 4
Til the storm passes by

Verse 2:
Many times Satan whispered
There is no need to try
For there’s no end of sorrow
There’s no hope by and by
But I know Thou art with me
And tomorrow I’ll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
When the long night has ended
And the storms come no more
Let me stand in Thy presence
On that bright peaceful shore
In that land where the tempest
Never comes Lord may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by

(Chorus)
