Immerse yourself in the profound peace of “It Is Well With My Soul.” This instrumental rendition is more than just music; it is a sanctuary for the soul, designed to help you navigate life’s “sea billows” with the blest assurance that Christ is in control.
The Scriptural Foundation
This hymn is a soaring response to the command in Psalm 146:1:
“Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!”
Even when peace is not a river but a raging sea, we are called to praise. As you listen, let the melody remind you of Philippians 4:7—that God’s peace, which surpasses all understanding, is guarding your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.
The Story of Horatio Spafford
The power of this hymn lies in its origin. In 1873, Horatio Spafford lost his four daughters when their ship sank in the Atlantic. As Spafford traveled to join his grieving wife, his ship passed the approximate location where his daughters had perished. It was there, amidst overwhelming sorrow, that he penned the words: “When sorrows like sea billows roll… It is well with my soul.”
Spafford’s ability to “Praise the Lord” in the darkest hour of his life has made this hymn a beacon of hope for millions.
Hymn Lyrics (Part I)
1
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.
Chorus
It is well with my soul,
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
2
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.
Hymn Lyrics (Part II)
3
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!
4
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.
