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!”
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 with my soul!
It is well, 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.
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 His Cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
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!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

We all have gone through something or someone is going through something, No matter what it is, God's mercy endures, it is ever faithfully, ever sure. Be glad and Rejoice in the Lord.

I have lost 5 family members from cancer over the last couple of years. One being my other half.
I went to sleep last night feeling sad and lonely. But woke up with the words it is well with my soul. So I typed it in.
I listed to the first song that came up. It was the song with the author and his story. I knew then that God was reaching his arms around me.
Then I scrolled down and read the comments left. They inspired and feed my soul.
I will say when I am lonely and missing my love and family to say
"it is well with my soul"
and know His love wraps me, His hands carry me, and forgiveness is endless.

This is one of the most inspirational songs in my memory. It was played by a soloist on a saxophone with piano support. It brought tears to my eyes. I printed out the lyrics and again several times it brought comfort and tears to my eyes. Paul, I remembered wrote "Rejoice in the Lord always." This song helps reinforce what he wrote. As do all the testimonials I read here.

When I get overwhelmed with much work as an entrepreneur. When it seems am sure to fail. When the strength and technical know-how fails, I get glued to God & I keep reasuring myself that it is well until the Holy Spirit steps in to do the unimaginable. IT'S WELL WITH MY SOUL. Assuredly, I can never be destroyed.

I kept thinking about my brother who had a really good job but had to resign to go into missionary work...I kept wondering how he was going to cope. I was suddenly overwhelmed by sadness but the Holy Spirit came and comforted me with this song. I have been reassured that it will be fine with him cos it's God who's leading him on, and there is a glorious future ahead.
Thanks to hymnal.net for the opportunity to fellowship as we sing along on our devices in different parts of the world and share our testimonies....lets keep on singing.
Let's keep proclaiming Jesus as king everywhere, every time and in every way.
Praise the Lord!!!

I'm currently on fasting in my list for today I wrote-it is well with my soul, I went through the lyrics and I started to remember how God has been with me losing my sister through suicide and other 3 siblings in a space of 2 years. Then on the 20/04/2014 after fasting my child was comatose the liver shut down. It was hurting so bad that I prayed so hard then the Lord comfort me I felt His hand and this song reminds me of praising through pain. Read some testimonies I'm in tears. May the Lord strengthen all of you.
