Full Transcript

In peace, like a river, attending my way, When sorrows like sea bellows roll, Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to see, It is well, it is well with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, Though trials should come, When this blessed assurance comes true, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And has shed his own blood for my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.

And is 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. It is well, it is well with my soul.
