Author: Horatio G. Spafford, 1828-1888 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #319 (1970) First Line: When peace, like a river, attendeth my way Lyrics: 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.
Chorus:
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
2 Tho Satan should buffet, tho trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath 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 the 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. [Chorus]
