VERSE 1

C                     G7  C G7         C 
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows, like sea billows roll;

G7  C       F         A7   Dm        D7 G 
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, 

       C        F  C    G7      C 
"It is well, it is well with my soul." 

          G                C

Let this blest assurance control,

G7   C             F      A7 Dm       D7 G 
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,

         C        F   C     G7     C

My sin, O, the bliss of this glorious thought!

My sin, not in part but the whole,

G7 C             F          A7 Dm      D7 G 
Is nailed to His cross, and I  bear it no more,

           C            F   C     G7   C 
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,

G7  C             F          A7  Dm         D7 G 
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, 

      C       F  C    G7      C 
"Even so," it is well with my soul.
