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 (it is well)with my soul, (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 He lives--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! [Refrain]
4 And Lord, haste the day when our 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] Scripture: 3 John 2 Languages: English Tune Title: IT IS WELL
When Peace, Like a River (It Is Well with My Soul)
