1 When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like seabillows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
""It is well, it is well with my soul.""
Chorus:
It is well (it is well) with my soul, (with my soul, )
It is well, it is well with my soul.
2 Though Satan should buffet, tho' trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul. Chorus
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! 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
