Chapter 3

Good evening! This will just be a little post sharing something that really touched my heart tonight. Whilst I was singing along to this beautiful hymn, I began to think about how true the words related to me, if at all. Is it well with my soul regardless of what happens in life? Hmm, I'm not so sure about that.
Well then, how can it be well with my soul (as the song states), 'Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,'?....The answer lies in the next part of the verse... 'Let this blest assurance control, that Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed his own blood for my soul.'
What a song...

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 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 hath shed his own blood for my soul. 
 (Refrain) 

3. 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! 
 (Refrain) 

4. 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. 
 (Refrain)
