Lyrics

When storms around are sweep­ing,
When lone my watch I’m keep­ing,
’Mid fires of ev­il fall­ing,
’Mid tempt­ers’ voic­es call­ing,

Refrain

Remember me, O Migh­ty One!
Remember me, O Migh­ty One!

When walk­ing on life’s ocean,
Control its rag­ing mo­tion;
When from its dan­gers shrink­ing,
When in its dread deeps sink­ing,

Refrain

When weight of sin op­press­es,
When dark des­pair dis­tress­es,
All through the life that’s mor­tal,
And when I pass death’s por­tal,

Refrain
