Author: Horatio G. Spafford Meter: 11.8.11.9 with refrain Appears in 484 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 1:3 First Line: When peace like a river attendeth my way Lyrics: 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 has regarded my helpless estate,
and has shed his own blood for my soul. (Refrain)
3 My sin– O, 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! (Refrain)
4 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."(Refrain )
