It is Well. by Philip P. Bliss — Lyrics

VERSE 1 When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows, like seabillows, roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, "It is well, it is well with my soul." CHORUS It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul. VERSE 2 Tho' Satan should buffet, tho' trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. VERSE 3

About It is Well.

"It is Well" is a profound hymn of surrender and unshakeable faith. The words speak directly to the experience of overwhelming sorrow—likening it to rolling sea-billows—yet they anchor the singer in the quiet, steady assurance of God's peace. For a choir, singing this piece is an act of ministering comfort, especially when the congregation is navigating grief or difficult trials.

We often bring this hymn out for funerals, memorial services, or quiet moments of prayer and reflection. The arrangement builds from the quiet, personal testimony of the verses into the broad, swelling harmony of the chorus. When the voices unite on the final line, "It is well, it is well with my soul," it leaves a lingering sense of hope and spiritual rest that resonates deeply across the church.
