Horatio G. Spafford, 1828-1888
[Key: Ab]

 

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,

[Ladies]  It is well, 

[Men] It is well,

[Ladies] With my soul

[Men] With my soul.

 

[Together]
It is well, it is well, with my soul!

 

Verse 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!

 

[Ladies]  It is well, 

[Men] It is well,

[Ladies] With my soul

[Men] With my soul.

 

[Together]
It is well, it is well, with my soul!

 

Verse 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, O my soul!

 

[Ladies]  It is well, 

[Men] It is well,

[Ladies] With my soul

[Men] With my soul.

 

[Together]
It is well, it is well, with my soul!

 

Verse 4
And Lord, haste the day
When my 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.

 

[Ladies]  It is well, 

[Men] It is well,

[Ladies] With my soul

[Men] With my soul.

 

[Together]
It is well, it is well, with my soul!
