It Is Well With My Soul
Words by Horatio Gates Spafford (1873)
Music by Philip Paul Bliss (Ville de Havre 1876)
Verse 1: When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain: It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Verse 2: Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
Refrain: It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Verse 3: My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
Refrain: It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Verse 4: And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
Refrain: It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
