"Till the Storm Passes By"

[Nelson Bradford]

In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storms howl above me, and there's no hiding place.
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

Refrain:
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till 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.

Verse 3
When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore;
In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.

One of my favorites since I am still standing fast during the storm.

You know, of all the things I've heard about heaven...gold streets, crystal seas, etc...the thought of the line "Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore" is by far the best thought of all.....

In other words...thanks Nelson.
