Victory Songs ‎#111

111. 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."

Chorus:
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

2 Though Satan should buffet, tho' 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]

3 My sin-- oh, the bliss of this glorious tho't--
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]

4 And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be roll'd back as a scroll,
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,--
"Even so"--it is well with my soul. [Chorus]
