When I first heard this hymn I could not relate, now I can sing.. It is well with my soul! :dsunny:
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, (it is well),
With my soul, (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!
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 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.
Beautiful hymn missz. :)
Been thinking about you and yours. How are things going?
Thank you Lo :friendstu:
My cousin now believes in the irresistible grace of our Lord and Saviour :dsunny:
God has blessed her with the blessed hope, and she is walking boldly now with God despite her struggles and grief.
Throughout this whole ordeal I feel God has taught me a lesson...
Avoid dismay, but Trust that God is in control, and his outcome is beyond your wildest dreams.
Cry, but rejoice knowing your tears fall in Gods hands.
Walk in righteousness, but pray for the strength to do so.
And most of all, submit yourself, the good, the bad, the ugly, Submit it to the Lord, that is when trust becomes peace, peace becomes love, love becomes joy. :dsunny:
WOW missz!! Praise the Lord!! I am so full of joy for you and your cousin. :HeartThrob:
Thank you Lo :dsunny:
yes, all praise be to our lord and Saviour. I reached out with my pinky, and he gave me his hand :HeartThrob:

missz before Baptists started modernizing "It is well" was probably the number 1 hymn sung by them in the 40"s-60's. :dsunny:
