163. It is Well with My Soul

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 has 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 the 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]
