We sang this today at the AAC Deputies Luncheon



To learn the history of this hymn, click on the headline above and scroll down. It is a powerful history.

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.

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)

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 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.

babyblue,

A truly wonderful hymn of the Church. I've used it all the years I pastored in the Churech of God, and still as an Anglican again, I use it regularly, along with it's 'sister' hymn, "Is It Well With Your Soul?". They have been personal mainstays for over forty years on ministry.
