Author: H. G. Spafford Hymnal: Revival Praises #42 (1907) First Line: When peace, like a river, attendeth my way Refrain First Line: It is well, with my soul 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."
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 His cross and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh 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]
