Author: Horatio G. Spafford Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #493 (1899) Meter: 11.8.11.9 Tune Title: BLISS 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.
Chorus:
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 hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul. [Chorus]
3 My sin--oh, 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, oh, my soul. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
