Til the Storm Passes by
By Mosie Lister
In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storm howls 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Pastor Deborah and Sam have been anxiously awaiting the storms passing by recently, which reminded me of this old hymn.
We have the storms in our lives that if we hold onto the Lord, it too will pass. ”Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand.” Be it family conflict, health reasons, COVID-19 fears, isolation or the unknown, may we always remember He holds us in the palm of his hand as these storms pass us by.
Father keep us safe and hear our fears that you may calm them. Remembering your promise to always be with us til the storm passes by. Whatever your storm is, trust in the Lord.
Blessings,
