It is Well with My Soul

Hymn lyrics by Horatio G. Spafford,
Music by Philip P. Bliss

Verse 1

• When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
• When sorrows like sea billows roll;
• Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
• It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Chorus

• It is well (it is well)
• With my soul (with my soul),
• It is well, it is well with my soul.

Verse 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.

Chorus

Verse 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!

Chorus

Verse 4

• For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
• If Jordan above me shall roll,
• No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
• Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Chorus

Verse 5

• But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
• The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
• Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!
• Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!

Chorus

Verse 6

• 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.

Chorus

All Your Anxiety

Hymn lyrics and music by Edward H. Joy

Verse 1

• Is there a heart o’erbound by¹ sorrow?
• Is there a life weighed down by care?
• Come to the cross, each burden bearing;
• All your anxiety—leave it there.

Chorus

• All your anxiety, all your care,
• Bring to the mercy seat, leave it there,
• Never a burden He cannot bear,
• Never a friend like Jesus!

Verse 2

• No other friend so swift² to help you,
• No other friend so quick to hear,
• No other place to leave your burden,
• No other one to hear your prayer.

Chorus

Verse 3

• Come then at once; delay no longer!
• Heed His entreaty kind and sweet,
• You need not fear a disappointment;
• You shall find peace at the mercy seat.

Chorus

A New Name in Glory

Hymn lyrics and music by C. Austin Miles

Verse 1

• I was once a sinner, but I came
• Pardon to receive from my Lord:
• This was freely given, and I found
• That He always kept His word.

Chorus

• There’s a new name written down in glory,
• And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine!
• And the white robed angels sing the story,
• “A sinner has come home.”
• For there’s a new name written down in glory,
• And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine!
• With my sins forgiven I am bound for Heaven,
• Never more to roam.

Verse 2

• I was humbly kneeling at the cross,
• Fearing naught by God’s angry frown;
• When the heavens opened and I saw
• That my name was written down.

Chorus

Verse 3

• In the Book ’tis written, “Saved by Grace,”
• O the joy that came to my soul!
• Now I am forgiven, and I know
• By the blood I am made whole.

Chorus

Abide With Me

Hymn lyrics by Henry F. Lyte,
Music by William H. Monk

Verse 1

• Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
• The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
• When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
• Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Verse 2

• Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
• Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
• Change and decay in all around I see;
• O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Verse 3

• Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;
• But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
• Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
• Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Verse 4

• Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
• But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings,
• Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea—
• Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.

Verse 5

• Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;
• And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
• Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,
• On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

Verse 6

• I need Thy presence every passing hour.
• What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
• Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
• Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

Verse 7

• I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
• Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
• Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
• I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Verse 8

• Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
• Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
• Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
• In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
