IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
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!"
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 blest
assurance control,
That Christ hath
regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His
own blood for my soul.
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!
4. For me, be it
Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
Though Jordan about
me shall roll,
No pang shall be
mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper
Thy peace to my soul.
5. And, Lord, haste
the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be
roiled back as a scroll,
The trump shall
resound and the Lord shall descend,
"Even so'' -
it is well with my soul.
