41. It Is Well With My Soul

1 When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows rolls,
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well with my soul."

Chorus:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

2 Though Satan should buffet, tho' 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]

3 My sin--O the bliss of this glorious tho't!--
My sin--not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! [Chorus]

4 And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be roll'd back as a scroll,
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
"Even so" it is well with my soul. [Chorus]
