Letra de
It Is Well With My Soul

La canción It Is Well with My Soul fue escrita por Horatio Spafford después de varias tragedias en su vida, incluida la muerte de su hija y un desastre marítimo que mató a sus cuatro hijas. El músico Philip Bliss fue quien eventualmente compuso la melodía para la letra, que fue nombrada Ville du Havre, en honor al barco en el que murieron las hijas de Spafford.


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

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 has shed His own blood for 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 the 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
