Lyrics:

Verse 1 (sung at the beginning)

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.

Verse 2: (sung at the end)

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]

Verse 3:

And Lord, haste the day

when my 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]
