It is Well with My Soul

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

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 hath regarded my helpless estate,And hath shed his own blood for my soul.

3

My sin— O the bliss of the 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!

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 deseend;"Even so"—it is well with my soul.
