(Horatio G. Spafford/Philip P. Bliss)

Verse 1:
     A             Bm       E   E/G#   A      A/G#
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
     F#m          B           E
When sorrows like sea billows roll,
    A       D              B            E
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
E/D    A/C#  D     A/E  E       A
'It is well, it is well with my soul.'

Chorus:
      A          E             E            A
It is well,            with my soul.
          (it is well)             (with my soul)
      D           E/A  E       A
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Verse 2:
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control -
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

Verse 3:
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, oh my soul!

Verse 4:
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.
