When Peace Like A River
1 . When peace like a river attendeth my way , When sorrows like sea billows roll , Whatever my lot , thou hast taught me to know It is well , 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 hath regarded my helpless estate And hath shed his own blood for my soul .
3 . For me be it Christ , be it Christ hence to live ; If Jordan above me shall roll , No pang shall be mine , for in death as in life Thou wilt whisper thy peace to my soul .
4 . But Lord , ’ tis for thee , for thy coming we wait , The sky , not the grave , is our goal ; O trump of the angel ! O voice of the Lord ! Blessèd hope , blessèd rest of my soul !
