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.
It is well, with my soul,
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 blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with 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!
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
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.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is not possible to sing this hymn without tears in the eyes. The testimony of this hymn is great!! (cyberhymnal.org) Truly by God's grace is anyone able to find contentment in the midst of unbelievable, insurmountable tragedy. We remain available to serve you in any way you allow us. You and the others who mourn remain unceasingly in our thoughts and prayers.
I love this Hymn.
May God continue to comfort you and your family
This has always been one of my favorite songs. I'm so glad you posted it; I've never actually heard all of the lyrics!
