The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#190

190. When Peace, like a River

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, thoough 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, O the bliss of this glorious thought,
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, 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]
