It Is Well With My Soul by Horatio G. Spafford

I find this hymn helps me to trust God during hard times and it assures me that while trials may come, through Jesus, He has already fixed my greatest problem of eternal separation from him.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Thanks for posting Horatio Spafford's beautiful song of testimony, "It Is Well." Good to hear in Canada from someone living "down under," as we say. God bless you and your "Prince Charming." And if you'd like to know a bit more about Mr. Spafford and his hymn, you can check out my daily blog Wordwise Hymns for today.
