It Is Well With My Soul
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain
It is well, with my soul,
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 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
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
Refrain
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!
Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of 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.
Refrain

Horatio Spafford, a lawyer who lived in Chicago, wrote this hymn. In 1870, his son died from scarlet fever. A few months later he lost his entire investment and savings in the Great Chicago Fire.
Two years later he sent Anna, his wife, and their four girls ahead of him to Europe. Another ship hit theirs and it sunk. Anna cabled, “Saved alone, what shall I do?”
While passing near the place of his daughters’ death, Spafford was inspired to write the words to the hymn, “It Is Well With My Soul.”
The lyrics of Spafford’s hymn reveal his attitude towards his enormous trials, and his determination to stay strong in spite of his circumstances.
May God by His Spirit empower the many believers in Christ around the world who are being persecuted for their faith to stay strong in spite of their circumstances as well.
In His Name and for His Glory, Steven Sherman @lastdays

Wow! I love this hymn so well! Although, people use it more during funerals in my country, but I love it especially this part
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!
Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!
I hope my Lord, come soon.
