617. When Peace like a River

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. [Refrain]

3 Redeemed! Oh, 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 trumpet shall sound, and the Lord shall descend,
even so, it is well with my soul. [Refrain]
