If you don’t know the story of Horatio Spafford, I encourage you to learn about him. For this song to be his legacy is an inspiration.
lyrics
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.”
My sin – o 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!
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight – the clouds be roll’d back as a scroll,
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend: “Even so!” It is well with my soul!
It is well with my soul. It is well; it is well with my soul.
