Author: Horatio G. Spafford, 1828-1888 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #569 (2012) Meter: 11.8.11.9 with refrain Topics: Trust in Jesus Christ 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 hath 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 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]
