Lyrics: 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. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. 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! For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live: If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul. But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord! Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul! 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. "It Is Well with My Soul" is a well-known Christian hymn written by Horatio G. Spafford, with music composed by Philip Bliss. The hymn is known for its comforting and uplifting lyrics, which convey a message of peace and trust in God even in the midst of adversity and trials. The hymn's origins are rooted in a tragic event in Horatio Spafford's life. In 1871, Spafford, a successful lawyer and devout Christian, suffered significant financial losses due to the Great Chicago Fire. Shortly thereafter, he planned to take a trip to Europe with his wife, Anna, and their four daughters. However, due to some last-minute business matters, Spafford was delayed and sent his family ahead on the steamship Ville du Havre. Tragically, the ship collided with another vessel and sank in the Atlantic Ocean on November 22, 1873. All four of Spafford's daughters perished in the accident, and only his wife, Anna, survived. Upon hearing the devastating news, Horatio Spafford boarded a ship to join his grieving wife in Europe. It is said that during his voyage, as he passed near the spot where the Ville du Havre had sunk, he was inspired to write the lyrics to "It Is Well with My Soul." The hymn expresses Spafford's deep faith and trust in God, despite the profound suffering and loss he had experienced. These lyrics have brought comfort and solace to countless people facing adversity and trials over the years. "It Is Well with My Soul" remains a cherished and enduring hymn in Christian worship, reminding believers of the importance of faith, hope, and trust in God, even in the face of life's greatest challenges. The music composed by Philip Bliss complements the lyrics and adds to the hymn's emotional depth, making it a beloved and timeless piece of Christian music.
