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 has taught me to say,  
"It is well, it is well with my soul."  

Refrain:  
It is well with my soul,  
It is well, it is well with my soul.  

2 Tho' Satan should buffet, tho' trials should come,  
Let this blest assurance control,  
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,  
And hath shed His own blood for my soul. [Refrain]  

3 My sin - O 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! [Refrain]  

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. [Refrain]
