It Is Well

By Brian Doerksen

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

 

Verse 2

Though Satan should buffet

Though trials should come

Let blessed assurance control

That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate

And hath shed his own blood for my soul

 

Chorus

It is well with my soul

It is well, it is well with my soul

 

Verse 3

Redeemed, O 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

 

Verse 4

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

 

Chorus

It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul

It is well, it is well with my soul
