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.
Refrain:
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 hath 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!
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.
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of 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.

When you read deep, precious, sorrow-soaked words of hope like this, do you feel strengthened by those who have walked this faith journey ahead of you? I certainly do. The man who penned these words in 1873, Horatio G. Spafford, had suffered incredible loss and yet these words that he penned have strengthed the hope of many! If you are walking through a painful trial today, hold onto this thought, “But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal!”

Stephanie-
Thanks so much for this. Have you heard the story behind the hymn’s writer? It breaks my heart:
100 or so years ago there was a family that needed to move across the Atlantic (not sure which way-to/from America and to/from England. The Father had some business he needed to finish up, so his wife took their children and went on ahead; he would come later. The ship got caught in a terrible storm and sank, with no survivors. When the father made the trip later, he asked the ship’s captain to let him know when they were at the place in the ocean where his whole family had perished. When the time came, he was overwhelmed, but felt content that his family was in heaven. From that he then wrote the “It is well with my soul” (lyrics only?). I know very few people, no matter how strong their faith is, that could have done that. I certainly would not be able to.
I may have missed some parts of the story, as I am writing from my memory of what I’ve read.
Thank you so much for the beautiful word art. I’m trying to think of how I can use it for a gift for our church’s choir director.
Such a powerful story of God’s strength and overwhelming peace during such sorrowful loss. I’m so glad to hear you’ll use it as a gift! Thanks for sharing, Kathryn!
You are so awesome. Thank you for all you do in Christ.
Aw, Julia, you are so welcome! <3
This printable reminds me so much of my childhood and going to church with my grandmothers who would always sing this song with such joy in their hearts.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Such a precious memory, Charlene! I’m so glad you like it <3 Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorite hymns, “It Is Well”! Thanks for posting. Love it!
So glad you like it, Debbie! Enjoy 🙂
So excited to find your page! This song has special meaning to me. My precious Godly Momma was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver 16 years ago. She had never had a drink in her life. She lived for 12 years with this condition. God was able to work through her during this time. 4 years ago, the doctors sent her home from the hospital to die. He explained the situation and then asked if she understood what he was saying. She said, “Yes, I do. And IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!” Friends, there is nothing sweeter than for our grieving family members to know that we are ready to LIVE in the presence of the Lord!! Thank you for sharing these printables!
