Trinity Hymnal #691
First Line: When peace, like a river, attendeth my way
Author: Horatio Gates Spafford
Tune Title: VILLE DU HAVRE
Composer: Philip P. Bliss
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 has 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 the cross and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! (Refrain)
4 O 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)
