Stand By Me, also known as “When the Storms of Life Are Raging,” is a lovely old gospel tune from the early twentieth century.  It is set in a gentle, gospel-swing style with easy syncopation and is appropriate for general worship services and special occasions. It also will serve as a delightful option in festival settings.
