It Is Well-Hymn Sing

It Is Well-Hymn Sing
Four Verses: Three in Bb; One in C
Verse 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."
Refrain:
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:
My sin-O the bliss of this glorious tho't-
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!
Verse 4:
And, Lord, haste the day when the 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.
Words: Horatio G. Spafford, 1873
Music: Philip P. Bliss, 1876

Played for you by Geri Rosser

[@DavidSmith-648]

Thank you Geri. I never knew this hymn actually existed until my piano teacher played it for her choir at her summer open air service on a dodgy sounding keyboard! Now it's one of my favourite hymns. I think I'll try a sort of Christian Karaoke with this version. Hope you are well Geri and thanks to God for anointing guarding and guiding you each day here.

[@GeriRosser]

Thanks, David! It’s such a special hymn. I hope you’ve heard the story behind Spafford’s lyric. So moving!

[@eugenievanzyl]

Thank you for your beautiful playing, Geri! I can hear the words with your powerful 'emotion' you put into your playing.
Why the band aid on your fingers?

[@GeriRosser]

Thanks for listening, Eugenie! Sometimes in the winter if I'm playing a lot, my fingers get really dry and crack. I use some antibacterial ointment and a bandaid to get some relief (after a couple of days).
