Here are the full lyrics to "When Peace Like a River" (also known as "It Is Well with My Soul"):

  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.
    It is well, 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 has shed His own blood for my soul.

  3. My sin — O the bliss of this glorious thought! —
    My sin, not in part, but the whole,
    Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more:
    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

  4. 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.

  5. 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!
    Blesséd hope, blesséd rest of my soul!

This hymn was written by Horatio G. Spafford and the tune was composed by Philip P. Bliss. It is widely known for its message of faith and peace in the face of sorrow and trials.
