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 are so blessed as believers because we have a heavenly Father who ensures we have a life of peace, love, and joy by sending His only begotten, beloved Son to take care of all the problems of our sin, guilt, and shame through Christ's all-inclusive death, resurrection, ascension, and dissension as the life-giving Spirit. Now, forgiven, and fully reconciled to God, we can fully trust in our dear Lord Jesus, talk to Him, enjoy Him, live Him, and express Him no matter what trials and tribulations we go through. Oh precious Lord Jesus thank You for Your Sovereignty in our lives, we love You SO MUCH !!!

found myself thinking about how this body of mine is failing me and not functioning properly, and no matter what pain or state I’m in, I immediately said “whatever my lot! God be glorified” and couldn’t remember what verse that was.. which brought me here to this wonderful hymn. so blessed to see us all over the world and all in different situations agree on one thing, that in Christ Jesus and whatever our lot, it is well.
