Lyrics (via hymnary.org)
WHEN PEACE, LIKE A RIVER, by Horatio Gates Spafford
1 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 (may be sung after final stanza only):
It is well with my soul;
it is well, it is well with my soul.
2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blest assurance control:
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and has shed his own blood for my soul. Refrain
3 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
4 O 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. Refrain
GOD IS SO GOOD, by Paul Makai
1 God is so good,
God is so good,
God is so good,
he’s so good to me.
2 He cares for me,
He cares for me,
He cares for me,
he’s so good to me.
3 God answers prayer,
God answers prayer,
God answers prayer,
he’s so good to me.
4 I praise his name,
I praise his name,
I praise his name,
he’s so good to me.
Beautiful! “It Is Well” has been my favorite hymn since before I was a teen.
