It Is Well with My Soul
words by Horatio G. Spafford, music by Philip P. Bliss

Verse 1:

     C                       Dm  G       C
When peace, like a river, at-ten-deth my way,

C/B  Am           Dsus  D       G
When sorrows like sea   billows roll -

    C       F              D            G
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

      C     F     C    G       C
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Refrain:

C                  G
It is well (it  is well)

G                       C
With my soul (with  my  soul),

C     F           C    G       C
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Verse 2:

My sin - O the joy 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!

Verse 3:

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.
