When Peace Like a River

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 (it is well)
    with my soul, (with my soul,)
    it is well, it is well with my soul.


2  Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
    let this blest assurance control,
    that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
    and has shed his own blood for my soul.  Refrain


3  He lives--oh, the bliss of this glorious thought;
    my sin, not in part, but the whole,
    is nailed to his cross and I bear it no more.
    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!  Refrain


4  Lord, hasten the day when our faith shall be sight,
    the clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
    the trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend;
    even so it is well with my soul.  Refrain
