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 - 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 the 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] Used With Tune: VILLE DU HAVRE
It Is Well with My Soul
