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
