Lyrics

VERSE 1

When peace like a river attendeth my way

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, thou has taught me to say

It is well, it is well with my soul.

 

VERSE 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

 

VERSE 3

My sin – oh, the bliss of this glorious tho’t

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!

 

VERSE 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

It is well – It is well – With my soul – with my soul

It is well – It is well – With my soul

 

Bliss and Spafford
