It Is Well With My Soul

It Is Well With My Soul

Text written in 1876 by Horatio G. Spafford (1829-1888)

Sung to VILLE DU HAVRE, composed by Philip P. Bliss (1838-1876)

2 Kings 4:26 Run to meet her and ask her, 

‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’ ” 

“Everything is all right,” she said.

Isaiah 48:18 If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea.

V. 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.

Refrain: It is well with my soul,

It is well, it is well with my soul.

Colossians 2:14 Having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

V. 2 My sin--O the joy 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!

Refrain

Revelation 6:14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

V. 3 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.

Refrain
