The I’m just sayin… Hymn of the Week

It Is Well With My Soul


This hymn was written by Horatio Spafford and composed by Philip Bliss. It was published for the first time in 1876. The story is… Horatio Spafford wrote this hymn after not one, but two traumatic events in his life (the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 that left him ruined financially and the death of his four daughters who drowned when their ship sank crossing the Atlantic on the way to Europe). Read more of the story here.

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.

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

Refrain

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

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.

Refrain
