- When God spoke unto Noah, and told him to build the ark,
The Lord knew well the vessel would cheerless be and dark,
So God said, build a window, with outlook toward the sky,
That when it�s dark and lonesome, you�ll see Me standing by.
- Refrain:
The storms will come, but fear not, oh, children, I am nigh,
And through the upper window, you�ll see Me standing by.
- It may be that affliction will rack and rend your frame,
Until your mortal body is seared with fevered flame,
But do not be discouraged, just lift your tear-dimmed eye,
And through the upper window, you�ll see Me standing by.
- Perhaps you�ll suffer losses, like houses, lands, and gold,
And you will feel you�re homeless, and penniless, and old;
But sweetest peace and comfort will lift your painful sigh,
When through the upper window, you�ll see Me standing by.
- It may be that bereavement will take a loved one dear,
A soul that brought you gladness, real happiness and cheer;
But it will cheer your sad heart, when loved ones from you fly,
When through the upper window, you�ll see Me standing by.
