when sorrows like sea billows roll,
whatever my lot, you have taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well with my soul."
Refrain:
It is well with my soul;
it is well, it is well with my soul.
2 Though evil should tempt me, though trials should come,
let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and has paid life and blood for my soul: [Refrain]
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]
4 O God, speed the day that is filled with your light,
when clouds are rolled back as a scroll;
The trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall appear,
"even so" - it is well with my soul. [Refrain] Topics: Comfort and Assurance; Jesus Christ Savior; Peace Inner; Struggle and Conflict; Year C Proper 11 Scripture: Psalm 145 Languages: English Tune Title: VILLE DU HAVRE
