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 Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blessed assurance control,
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and has shed his own blood for my soul. [Refrain]
3 My sin, O, the bliss of this glorious thought!
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! [Refrain]
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] Topics: Temptation and Conflict; Conflict; Peace, inner; Salvation; Sin; Temptation of believers Used With Tune: VILLE DU HAVRE
