There is something about this song, that just brings goose bumps to my skin. The song is just beautiful and really says it all to me. The man who wrote the song, Horatio G. Spafford went through a couple of life changing events, but always kept his faith. Indeed it was well with his soul. I pray that I can live like this man and his wife.
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 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 hath shed his own blood for my soul.
(Refrain)
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, O my soul!
(Refrain)
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.
(Refrain)
Love, love, love that hymn! Happy iFellowship Wednesday 🙂

i have never heard this hymn but the words are amazing. Thank you for sharing xx
This is one of my favorite songs. I particularly love the version Selah recorded.
What a wonderful gift to share! Thank you.
What a wonderful object lesson! It is a beautiful pitcher with a story that surpasses the beauty of the roses it now holds.
I dropped by to visit your blog on the recommendation of iFellowship via Lisa♥H! I'm #70 on the ever-expanding list and invite you to drop by for a visit. I write about respecting our husbands. I hope you stop by! I will now look for your "follow" button and become your newest follower.
Joy,
So sorry I'm so late getting here today. Your blog is actually one of my favs!
This is my Dad's favorite song and we just sang it last Sunday.
You're doing a good thing here!
I absolutely love this song Joy! It is so good for me to read through hymns and really focus on the words. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! I could hear the melody in my head while I read the words in your post. 🙂
