about

I have liked this hymn for a long time. And lots of people like this hymn. It has been done several times and I don't think that what I have is anything out of the ordinary.

But, it means more to me now and, this is my soul singing. I worked through my own chord progressions and arranged it in a style that fits well with what I've got.

I am using the traditional lyrics that I got off of the internet. I know that there are some differences to the traditional lyrics, but I think often that an artist's original intent is the purest intent. So I want to be true to that with this version of It Is Well with My Soul.

lyrics

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (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 has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

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,
A song in the night, oh my soul!
