When I can read my title clear

When I can read my title clear (title clear),

1

When I can read my title clear (title clear),When I can read my title clear (title clear),When I can read my title clearTo mansions in the skies,I'll bid farewell to ev'ry fear (ev'ry fear),I'll bid farewell to ev'ry fear (ev'ry fear),I'll bid farewell to ev'ry fear,And wipe my weeping eyes.

Chorus.

We will stand the storm,We will stand, stand the storm,It will not be very long,We will anchor by and by, by and by;We will anchor by and by,We will anchor by and by;We will stand the storm,We will stand, stand the storm,It will not be very long,We will anchor by and by (by and by).

2

Should earth against my soul engage,And fiery darts be hurled;Then I can smile at Satan's rage,And face a frowning world.

3

Let cares like a wild deluge come,And storms of sorrow fall;May I but safely reach my home,My God, my heaven, my all.

4

There shall I bathe my weary soulIn seas of heavenly rest,And not a wave of trouble rollAcross my peaceful breast.
