It Is Well With My Soul

Words: Horatio GSpafford (1828-1888) Music: ' Vile Du Havre' by Philip Bliss (1838-1876)

‘Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ’

Romans 5v1

Verse 1

When peace like a river attendeth my way

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well with my soul

Verse 2

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come

Let this blest assurance control

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate

And has shed His own blood for my soul

Chorus

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (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

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
