I was feeling lost. During the Christmas season, there is no one. My mother died this year; there is no one. I am a widow; all aunts, uncles, and cousins have passed. I have no children. I felt so sad. Now, it is well with my soul. This performance pulled me right out of the deep black hole. I am alive, and my work continues. The concert was brilliant. ❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you a thousand times.
Ah, Stephanie. Not for one moment have you been out of God's sight. I don't know what He has ahead for you. But I can tell you this - you are now and have always, ALWAYS, been significant, precious, and treasured by our Father God. I pray you come to know Him more richly in the days ahead.
Stephanie, please try your best to not give into that "alone" feeling. It's only temporary...always a phase and always phases are temporary. You are not ever 100% alone. Jesus does not allow that ever! Talk with others...smile at kind looking little families and children. Go shopping and stroll around but only buy something small for someone else~♡
May God's choicest blessings be yours! Life can feel so lonely at times. I know that God loves you and you have many guardian angels watching over you! Merry Christmas!
57 years ago all four of my immediate family, mother, father, brother and sister died in an air crash. I did not travel with them. This hymn is my favourite, eloquently in words and music, expressing the peace I now feel.
My husband went to heaven three years ago. He loved this hymn and always had tears rolling down his cheeks, but he did not know the story. I wish we had known it, and he always said he wanted this hymn sung at his funeral. It took me hours to find our CD with this hymn but late at night I found the CD with David Phelps singing! He would have been so pleased. For some reason I have missed him very much today and I came across this video tonight. I can say IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!
Thank you, dear Hugh , and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Utah symphony, for sharing this lovely story of love and faith. I pray Almighty God is with all of us. Thank you Jesus.
Almost 3 years ago we lost a daughter. We used this hymn at her memorial service because I knew the story behind the hymn. If someone who just lost daughters like we just lost our one, could write such wonderful words, I had to use it. She is gone but it is well with my soul. Rest in God's arms Tara.
For you reading this, l pray that God's grace will be sufficient for you, your feet will never slip and our Hope in JESUS CHRIST will heal us ALL! AMEN. 💓💖💐💕
My favorite verse to this song is, “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!
Before my devout Christian Mother passed away in the hospital, she told me everything was gonna be ok. I knew what she meant and I found comfort, even in her passing. A comfort that can only be found in Jesus Christ. I still miss my mother dearly but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt.....IT IS WELL.
My Husband passed away five years now . Faith took me to where I am now. Grateful to the mercy and love of God and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ Infinite Atonement that took me to Hope that made all things possible if truly Repent and repent daily through Him all things possible. Hope can heal sorrow souls. It is well It is well with my soul. How I love the Words and Lyrics of this beautiful Rendition.
I lost my wife earlier this year. As Christmas has neared, I have struggled despite knowing she awaits me in Heaven. But I am reminded of the peace I have with this song. Thank you Lord.
Hugh Bonneville is a master at narration! I latch on to every word every phrase. A wonderful actor. May he be blessed with years of success and goodwill
My 2 year old grandson was abducted in 2006 days later his mom my daughter passed away. This song has given me much faith and strength knowing the faith this man had. Everytime I hear this I’m brought to tears. The words are very powerful and restores my strength and faith to continue on and never give up hope my grandson will be recovered.
I pray this as well. He is 18 now, so I pray soon he matures enough to start questioning and searching on his own. The simple genealogy DNA tests are reuniting families again and again, many who were never even aware they had been abducted. I pray your family becomes one them!
I hope you hold out hope, one day, for a glorious, joyous reunion. This season, and this wonderful hymn, is a reminder that, eventually, all that is wrong in life may be made right through Christ Jesus. Warm Regards and Best Wishes, Along With Sincerest Condolences for Your Losses, -Ken K. Gourdin
One of the absolute finest things to ever air on Television. We were actually there in person on this night. There is such a powerful spirit in this whole story. Truly, out of the ashes and through the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can all be healed, reunited, and sealed up in the heavens to our everlasting and Eternal Parents. The storms of life provide the training ground and experience we all need. Every curriculum is tailor-made to suit us to what we each need. God be thanked for the gift of His divine Son!
I am in the middle of yet another crippling migraine and the words to this beautiful hymn bring me comfort and peace. I know that my Lord and Saviour suffered much worse pain than I in order to save us all from the ravishes of hell. I raise my head as I listen to this beautiful sacred words and feel God’s amazing strength all around me as I lay in my bed. I’m 72 and Praise The Lord, it is well with my soul.
My uncle is leaving soon to be with Jesus forever. My sister just sang this song to him by his beside in the hospital. This hymn has soothed many a grieving soul over the years. It speaks for our hurting hearts when we have no words.
Horatio Spafford seems like the Job of his time. That poor man, his poor wife, and their poor family. It is amazing to me that he kept the faith. I pray to have an ounce of his faithfulness.
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!
It has always been my favorite verse as well, for without the redemptive work of Christ completed on the cross, I would never be able to say "it is well with my soul"!
I pray that, as we're entering this holiday season celebrating the birth of Christ, that it will be well with your soul. May you find peace, joy, and a deep well-being whenever you think of your son and any others lost in the accident. Again, I say, may it be well with your soul.
I knew this story behind the song but I'm still moved to tears by hearing you tell it. This is also the first time I've heard "the rest of the story". You did a beautiful job of telling it Mr Bonneville.
100%! I knew how the hymn came about (the treacherous sea voyage) but had no idea about the rest of the family's story. Incredible! What a blessing to so many 🙏
There is only one reason that it can be well with my soul ...and that is the hope and promise found in Jesus Christ our saviour who sacrificed himself that we may all be reunited again. What a glorious certainty for those who follow Him ... 💖🤗 turn to Him and be saved.
Thank You BBC. My favorite song because I lost my Public Service job in Papua New Guinea but was offered another job as Deputy High Commissioner for Papua New Guinea in London from 1996-1999, where my Four Children were given their Confirmation as Children of God at the St. Anne's Lutheran Church in London by a German Pastor Smeizh. It Is Well. Amen.
Mr. Bonneville; I don't know if YOU will ever realize yourself how beautifully timed this video was, and how much of a purpose you had fulfilled. God Bless You, and all the choir indeed!!
From India. I have heard this historical hymn many times and sang in the Egmore Wesley Church Choir. Your narration brought the tears in my eyes. I listened to the song again and again. Bring out such stories of other popular songs also. I am 70 years old. Pray for my family and my ministry. We help the poor children to go to school from remote villages. At present 192 students are studying in five hostels.
I imagined one day when I was already in Heaven. We will continue to praise the name of the Lord Jesus every day and the joyful faces will continue to color our lives. No more sickness, no more sin, only glorifying the name of the Lord Jesus. Thanks for this vids! Im so excited to the resf of life. Jesus Bless Us..
The first time my pastor taught us about Horatio Spafford, I lost it. As a mother to three daughters, the idea of continuing on after something like that seems truly insurmountable. I'm incredibly faithful in my loving God...but I'll admit, that would test it so greatly. More than anything else I could go through. I pray constantly that I will never find myself in a situation like this.
The hours of rehearsal it would take for me to pull this off without breaking down in sobs is unimaginable at this point. I began this video knowing full good and well the first half of the story. But the moment they began with the little girls' and their mother's visual reenactment, the father in me couldn't stop sobbing.
This song has grounded me through many storms of life. I am so thankful for a heritage of faith that we have in Christ and in the Body of Christ, those who believe in Him. There is no peace, except in Christ. Life is hard. He is faithful.
We all have the freedom to make choices of all sort as we go though our days. My choice is to follow Jesus Christ all the day of my life, asking that he guide me and teach me the best pathway for my life, that he keep a watch over me, protect from evil and grant me His peace. And, that He help me become an instrument through which His Will becomes evident in the things that I think, do and say.
I’m just feeling myself falling into panic & depression. So much has changed in my life & I know others are suffering too. If it were not for Jesus.. smh..🙏🏻😣
Even though it's not Christmas myself was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer two years ago I was lost not even to be in church now I go every Sunday and listen to this song every night the word keep me out of the dark and keep me going
God! What a flurry of emotions... I couldn't hold back my tears as I listened to the narrator. I didn't even know whether my tears are for the story or the song. I remembered my Dad today and how we lost him. But like this faithful family, I say it's well with my soul
It's one of those rare moments when truly inspiring words spawned from tragic events were given a truly inspiring melody. Even unbelievers who sing this song in church start to cry! The only time that ever happened again was with the theme song to Titanic, people had the same emotional reaction.
I, a grown man, wants to cry every time this song is sung. Because I remember the inspiration for it. As you say here. A man who lost his family was inspired to write it. Very moving song. Very emotional.
What a stellar performance! Thankfully, I had tissues nearby. Thank you to Mr. Bonneville for a fantastic narration, to the Choir for their Heavenly voices, and those in the cast. God bless you all!
It is REALLY well with my soul. Thank you for reminding us that sorrow is the road to the story of love, hope and redemption en-fleshed in Jesus at Bethlehem.
This was my grandma’s favorite song and today it’s mine as well. Even with Alzheimer’s disease she’d remembered and sang this for me. May God bless us all!
My Dad's favourite hymn and he could sing it better than anyone I have ever heard. It was from his heart and he is there with his Saviour in Heaven now waiting for us all to follow the path he walked as our example. The story of the man that wrote the music for this song is also one of immense suffering.
What a wonderful story of a families faith saving them from pain and giving them the strength and courage to do so much to for others. That it continues today is a a testament to what faith can do, so uplifting and inspiring.
Being a Downton Abbey fan, Hugh Bonneville showed up in my UA-cam recommendation videos. What a beautiful, inspiring and moving performance! It Is Well is one of my favorite songs. Merry Christmas everyone! God's blessings to you and yours 🙏
When my mom died I picked this Hymn for my mother's funeral. It was a great comfort to my dad & I as He & I put our Faith in joining her Soul in the future Mansion prepared for them in the Kingdom of Heaven.
By Christ alone...His sacrificial death paid for my sin, his righteous life covers my sin. He presents me to the Father, in His name...It is well with my soul.
I cannot go on my tablet without listening to this song; it doesn't need to be any time or reason. When I first heard this song, it became a favorite, but this year is the first time I heard the story behind it. I don't think anyone can listen to this song without doing it through tears. I have never heard anything so beautiful. This has become my all time favorite. I find myself humming or singing it many times during the day. Thank. You so much for your example . I have had a very rough year and this has helped me immensely. Sherry Shappell.
I’ve been feeling down recently. I turned this on for a completely unrelated reason, but hearing it a few time, “it is well with my soul” is clearly something I needed to hear.
I don't know how these people are able to hold themselves together emotionally when performing something like this... Incredible arrangement, narration, and delivery. Also, congratulations to the recording technicians (audio and video) who produce these amazing products... no small feat with something this complex.
I needed this today! How the world has needed this message since it was performed in December of 2019. God bless you Hugh Bonneville, The Tabernacle Choir, and everyone suffering in the world today.
What a beautiful way to receive a Blessing! Sincere thanks to all the persons involved to make this possible for all of us. May God keep hearing your soul reaching out to HIM in prayer saying: “IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL”. This is a lesson and Blessing for a lifetime inspired from above.
This song, this specific narration was my source of hope 1 year ago when I was in my lowest moment. Truly, it is well with my soul. I'm grateful Lord🙏🏻
One day Soon, there will be no more tears, Thank you Lord, hearing this reminded me of a much smaller men’s choir singing “It is well with my soul” led by their Pastor John Mollitt at Ingleton Evangelical Church. It was thirty years ago, but very memorable.
Among the most wrenching of stories, among the most beautiful and uplifting of all hymns, for evermore. When I hear or sing it, I think of my angel unaware son and of the little girl passed by us too swiftly for a name, I think of my wife of 48 years, I remember comrades lost on missions from here to eternity....
I have performed that song many times over the years. I never knew the story behind that song. I am moved to tears. Never again will I sing this song without recalling the tragedy that led to its creation. As for today - it is well with my soul. Blessings to all.
Wonderful. "All will be well and all will be well and all manner of things will be well" - as was written here in England in the 1300s by the Christian - Dame Julian of Norwich who had some very wise words for us today, much the same as It is well with my soul. Things tend to work out okay even if times are very hard at times.
Thank you so much for this performance. Christians or not...Christmas or not...it has a very touching and powerful message for all. Hope. Peace. It is well with my soul. Amen.
I have sung this Hymn many times. It is a favourite of mine yet until now I never knew the story behind it. It is indeed a testament to the certainty of Gods love and that good can come out of tragedy. Thank you a million times for posting this. God Bless all who listen to it. Alan, a Salvationist.
Hugh Bonneville, as were all of them was absolutely outstanding - what an anointed, Spirit-filled incredible performance - I will share everywhere - please share.
@@ericpatterson6031 Yes, he's one of these actors you can rely on to put on a magnificent performance like that...Except that, like you, I believe he wasn't acting....
And that narrator! God bless him... He's wonderful. I could see him struggling to hold his emotions in check especially towards the end of the story. The kids were wonderful too. I really love this piece.
Watching from SW Georgia this nearly six months of quarantine. May the encouraging words of this song give us hope and peace through this troublesome time in all of our lives. May God Bless Us All❤
Glad you are taking strength from this song, and the production. I am sure that would touch those who were involved in making it. The hymn seems to be one of those that will stand out to eternity, for its origin, and for its ability to strengthen believers, and lead them to do more than they thought possible in their own strength.
I was honored and blessed to be able to sing this requested hymn an my mother's funeral in 2015. My son accompanied me on the piano and joined me on the chorus for a duet. My mother was a wonderful example of loving, giving and serving family and friends. She served the Lord and lived to be over 93 years old. I miss her still, especially at Christmas. Growing up my grandmother's (mom's mom) birthday was December 24th. As long as I can remember as a teenager Mom always had bittersweet memories at Christmas. I knew the story behind the writing of the hymn; however this dramatization with music and narration was beautiful. I had no idea of the various examples of service and ministry the family had in later years...what a blessing they were.
Whenever we sing this hymn in our church choir, I sing through my tears, at the joy that Christ has rescued us, no matter how dreadful the ordeal Satan has thrown us against. I knew about the shipwreck, but not the rest of the Spaffords' story. What a beautiful presentation.
I've watched this a few times over the years and has become a holiday favorite. Everything about this production of It is Well With My Soul is superb. A moving story, sweeping melodies, amazing narration (thank Lord Grantham!) and a heartwarming performance. Many thanks for sharing this.
Thank You! "Lord" For sharing your life! with us! and dieing on the cross for us! We all know, you are the true king! of King's! And the devil will never take your throne! Ever! Love you! And I do believe in you!! And you only!!
We lost our sweet daughter on February 6, 2011. The next decade formulated a turbulent, new path of life, thanks be to God. "We have a work to do." Christ's Mass is filled with joy & hope in the Eternal. "It is well with my soul." I pray this for you.
I was feeling lost. During the Christmas season, there is no one. My mother died this year; there is no one. I am a widow; all aunts, uncles, and cousins have passed. I have no children. I felt so sad. Now, it is well with my soul. This performance pulled me right out of the deep black hole. I am alive, and my work continues. The concert was brilliant. ❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you a thousand times.
Bless you and may you feel his presence continuously in his everlasting arms ❤️
Ah, Stephanie. Not for one moment have you been out of God's sight. I don't know what He has ahead for you. But I can tell you this - you are now and have always, ALWAYS, been significant, precious, and treasured by our Father God. I pray you come to know Him more richly in the days ahead.
You are never alone💖
Stephanie, please try your best to not give into that "alone" feeling. It's only temporary...always a phase and always phases are temporary. You are not ever 100% alone. Jesus does not allow that ever! Talk with others...smile at kind looking little families and children. Go shopping and stroll around but only buy something small for someone else~♡
May God's choicest blessings be yours! Life can feel so lonely at times. I know that God loves you and you have many guardian angels watching over you! Merry Christmas!
57 years ago all four of my immediate family, mother, father, brother and sister died in an air crash. I did not travel with them. This hymn is my favourite, eloquently in words and music, expressing the peace I now feel.
Thank you for sharing. ❤ May Christ continue to give you peace. X
May God continue to give you peace as you live without your family for now.
My prayers for you 🙏 ❤️ So very sorry for your tragic loss...
Much strength!
May you always feel them in your life every day wherever you go!!
My husband went to heaven three years ago. He loved this hymn and always had tears rolling down his cheeks, but he did not know the story. I wish we had known it, and he always said he wanted this hymn sung at his funeral. It took me hours to find our CD with this hymn but late at night I found the CD with David Phelps singing! He would have been so pleased. For some reason I have missed him very much today and I came across this video tonight. I can say IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!
Hugh Bonneville commands an audience with such class and grace.😊.
Thank you, dear Hugh , and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Utah symphony, for sharing this lovely story of love and faith. I pray Almighty God is with all of us. Thank you Jesus.
Needed this today. My dearest grandma passed away after living a beautiful blessed life of 100 years. I praise God for her❤️
Almost 3 years ago we lost a daughter. We used this hymn at her memorial service because I knew the story behind the hymn. If someone who just lost daughters like we just lost our one, could write such wonderful words, I had to use it. She is gone but it is well with my soul. Rest in God's arms Tara.
Amen!
Blessings upon you and the strong spirit of your daughter.
May God continue to bless you with peace, in the loss of your daughter.
James, may the Peace of the Lord be with you and yours. Tara is undoubtedly looking over you.
Bless you sweetie.
For you reading this, l pray that God's grace will be sufficient for you, your feet will never slip and our Hope in JESUS CHRIST will heal us ALL! AMEN. 💓💖💐💕
Thanks so much😢 as I need healing!! Thank you 😊😊❤
Amen
Thank you so very much! God Bless you! ❤
My favorite verse to this song is, “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!
Amen
Amen!
Amen🙏
Amen! 6:47
Amen❤ 11:53
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a National Treasure. God bless their anointed ministry.
Before my devout Christian Mother passed away in the hospital, she told me everything was gonna be ok. I knew what she meant and I found comfort, even in her passing. A comfort that can only be found in Jesus Christ. I still miss my mother dearly but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt.....IT IS WELL.
My Husband passed away five years now . Faith took me to where I am now. Grateful to the mercy and love of God and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ Infinite Atonement that took me to Hope that made all things possible if truly Repent and repent daily through Him all things possible. Hope can heal sorrow souls. It is well It is well with my soul. How I love the Words and Lyrics of this beautiful Rendition.
I lost my wife earlier this year. As Christmas has neared, I have struggled despite knowing she awaits me in Heaven. But I am reminded of the peace I have with this song. Thank you Lord.
Dave God bless you , I pray that this past year has been a good one for you, a time of healing. ❤
This story fills me with shame for spending one selfish moment complaining about my life which has been blessed beyond measure.
Hugh Bonneville is a master at narration! I latch on to every word every phrase. A wonderful actor. May he be blessed with years of success and goodwill
My 2 year old grandson was abducted in 2006 days later his mom my daughter passed away. This song has given me much faith and strength knowing the faith this man had. Everytime I hear this I’m brought to tears. The words are very powerful and restores my strength and faith to continue on and never give up hope my grandson will be recovered.
May God give you strength and some measure of comfort. You grief I cannot even imagine.
I pray your grandson will be reunited with you. Your faith is beautiful.
I pray this as well. He is 18 now, so I pray soon he matures enough to start questioning and searching on his own. The simple genealogy DNA tests are reuniting families again and again, many who were never even aware they had been abducted. I pray your family becomes one them!
It breaks my heart for you to have to live with not knowing. Thanks to the Savior, that little boy is not entirely lost.
I hope you hold out hope, one day, for a glorious, joyous reunion. This season, and this wonderful hymn, is a reminder that, eventually, all that is wrong in life may be made right through Christ Jesus.
Warm Regards and Best Wishes, Along With Sincerest Condolences for Your Losses,

It must have been an amazing event to witness in person. I wish I could have witnessed it myself. May God bless everyone! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇
I was serving a mission at the time and was there in person too it was wonderful 😊
With tears in my old eyes God is in control.
I am in the middle of yet another crippling migraine and the words to this beautiful hymn bring me comfort and peace. I know that my Lord and Saviour suffered much worse pain than I in order to save us all from the ravishes of hell. I raise my head as I listen to this beautiful sacred words and feel God’s amazing strength all around me as I lay in my bed. I’m 72 and Praise The Lord, it is well with my soul.
My uncle is leaving soon to be with Jesus forever. My sister just sang this song to him by his beside in the hospital. This hymn has soothed many a grieving soul over the years. It speaks for our hurting hearts when we have no words.
Sharing your sadness...
Horatio Spafford seems like the Job of his time. That poor man, his poor wife, and their poor family. It is amazing to me that he kept the faith. I pray to have an ounce of his faithfulness.
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!
My absolute favorite verse in this song. This is where I always lose it.
It has always been my favorite verse as well, for without the redemptive work of Christ completed on the cross, I would never be able to say "it is well with my soul"!
AMEN & AMEN ! Even so, Come, Lord Jesus ! =|
May the lives we live bear witness to his regenerative work.
Yes!! Amen!! The best part....
We know we shall be together again after the resurrection if we have Jesus in our hearts. What a family reunion that will be!
Amen
I lost my 4th son Feb 2020 in a plane crash my hope is in the Lord !
I pray that, as we're entering this holiday season celebrating the birth of Christ, that it will be well with your soul. May you find peace, joy, and a deep well-being whenever you think of your son and any others lost in the accident. Again, I say, may it be well with your soul.
,,,,if your hope is in the Lord, it is well placed. My heart aches for you...xo
So sorry for ypur loss ♡

Wow, that touched me. I never knew there was a story behind the hymn. Thanks to everyone for bringing that to me and God bless you all. 🙏 🙏🙏

I don't cry very easily, but when that scene came up, couldn't hold back the tears.
Merry Christmas in October to all who are still watching this during quarantine!
How are you doing 😊😊😊
Thanks
This song has grounded me through many storms of life. I am so thankful for a heritage of faith that we have in Christ and in the Body of Christ, those who believe in Him. There is no peace, except in Christ. Life is hard. He is faithful.
I am a firm believer in God and His plan, that He loves each one of us...and it is well with my soul
We all have the freedom to make choices of all sort as we go though our days. My choice is to follow Jesus Christ all the day of my life, asking that he guide me and teach me the best pathway for my life, that he keep a watch over me, protect from evil and grant me His peace. And, that He help me become an instrument through which His Will becomes evident in the things that I think, do and say.
Unbelievable how many emotions you can go through in 16 minutes. This story was beautifully narrated, I teared up several times
This brings so much peace to me now in my time of troubles.. thank you Lord ... I am feeling so lost. The Lord is my strength I will not give up
I’m just feeling myself falling into panic & depression. So much has changed in my life & I know others are suffering too. If it were not for Jesus.. smh..🙏🏻😣
Me too..prayers
Even though it's not Christmas myself was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer two years ago I was lost not even to be in church now I go every Sunday and listen to this song every night the word keep me out of the dark and keep me going
I’m very sorry to hear that bro..do you still go to church ?
I pray you receive healing in Jesus name.
God! What a flurry of emotions... I couldn't hold back my tears as I listened to the narrator. I didn't even know whether my tears are for the story or the song. I remembered my Dad today and how we lost him. But like this faithful family, I say it's well with my soul

I, a grown man, wants to cry every time this song is sung. Because I remember the inspiration for it. As you say here. A man who lost his family was inspired to write it. Very moving song. Very emotional.
I'm an atheist, and heck, even I'm moved to become a Christian when I hear this song!
I cry like a baby, and I'm agnostic.
This was my Mom’s favorite hymn. She’s been gone 6 years now . Now it’s my favorite hymn.
What a stellar performance! Thankfully, I had tissues nearby. Thank you to Mr. Bonneville for a fantastic narration, to the Choir for their Heavenly voices, and those in the cast. God bless you all!
Father GOD in Heaven... You know the Reason for Everything. "It is Well with My Soul." My life is in Your Hands. Amen.
Beautiful. Thank you Dearest Jesus.
Love you all viewers and I hope to see you all in heaven ♥️!! God bless you.
It is REALLY well with my soul. Thank you for reminding us that sorrow is the road to the story of love, hope and redemption en-fleshed in Jesus at Bethlehem.
My four children sang this at my sister’s funeral. It is a wonderful song.
a special BRAVO to Hugh Bonneville
What a great narrator.
You could feel the emotion and love in his story telling.
Bravo sir and Thank You

This was my grandma’s favorite song and today it’s mine as well. Even with Alzheimer’s disease she’d remembered and sang this for me. May God bless us all!
My Dad's favourite hymn and he could sing it better than anyone I have ever heard.
It was from his heart and he is there with his Saviour in Heaven now waiting for us all to follow the path he walked as our example.
The story of the man that wrote the music for this song is also one of immense suffering.
I have never knew this story. I was intrigued by Hugh's performance in downton abbey so I came on here. Amazed
What a wonderful story of a families faith saving them from pain and giving them the strength and courage to do so much to for others. That it continues today is a a testament to what faith can do, so uplifting and inspiring.
For ages, this performance has been my best.
I’ve not cried this much for a very very long time 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️🎅🎅🎅👏🏼🙏🏼
We can all learn from this inspirational true story when we are confronted with hard ships and heartache.
Being a Downton Abbey fan, Hugh Bonneville showed up in my UA-cam recommendation videos. What a beautiful, inspiring and moving performance! It Is Well is one of my favorite songs. Merry Christmas everyone! God's blessings to you and yours 🙏
Hugh Bonneville is amazing! I could listen to him tell stories forever!
Wow. I did not know this story behind this song. Wow. Sooo very glad I came upon this video today.
When my mom died I picked this Hymn for my mother's funeral. It was a great comfort to my dad & I as He & I put our Faith in joining her Soul in the future Mansion prepared for them in the Kingdom of Heaven.
By Christ alone...His sacrificial death paid for my sin, his righteous life covers my sin.
He presents me to the Father, in His name...It is well with my soul.
Anita Wilkins Amen.
I cannot go on my tablet without listening to this song; it doesn't need to be any time or reason. When I first heard this song, it became a favorite, but this year is the first time I heard the story behind it. I don't think anyone can listen to this song without doing it through tears. I have never heard anything so beautiful. This has become my all time favorite. I find myself humming or singing it many times during the day. Thank. You so much for your example . I have had a very rough year and this has helped me immensely. Sherry Shappell.
I’ve been feeling down recently. I turned this on for a completely unrelated reason, but hearing it a few time, “it is well with my soul” is clearly something I needed to hear.
This lifts my heart and is well with my soul. Thank you for this beautiful message.
How are you doing 😊😊😊
I don't know how these people are able to hold themselves together emotionally when performing something like this... Incredible arrangement, narration, and delivery. Also, congratulations to the recording technicians (audio and video) who produce these amazing products... no small feat with something this complex.
I needed this today! How the world has needed this message since it was performed in December of 2019. God bless you Hugh Bonneville, The Tabernacle Choir, and everyone suffering in the world today.
God bless you sister.
Thank you Hugh Bonneville for this fantastic and very special video and thank God that you did share this message.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Thank you God for Your Love, Unity and most of all The Miracle at Christmas - Jesus.
I WATCH MANY TIME ITS VERY POWERFUL MESSAGE FOR ME AND MY LIFE GOD BLESS
So blessed this is still available in December 2020, a year of much grief and sadness.
I remember listening to this last year around October/November. I needed to hear this and it’s great to see it’s still around
Amen!
Yes
A great indication that the peace of God that passes all understanding was and continues for all of us.
Simply and astoundingly beautiful.
How are you doing 😊😊😊
September 1st in Chicago here. I needed this blessing. Thank you and be safe and well, to all.
What a beautiful way to receive a Blessing! Sincere thanks to all the persons involved to make this possible for all of us. May God keep hearing your soul reaching out to HIM in prayer saying: “IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL”. This is a lesson and Blessing for a lifetime inspired from above.
Don't let this world and the things in it, rule over you. God will see us all through it.
This song, this specific narration was my source of hope 1 year ago when I was in my lowest moment. Truly, it is well with my soul. I'm grateful Lord🙏🏻
One day Soon, there will be no more tears, Thank you Lord, hearing this reminded me of a much smaller men’s choir singing “It is well with my soul” led by their Pastor John Mollitt at Ingleton Evangelical Church. It was thirty years ago, but very memorable.
Amen !!! It is well with my soul. Thank YOU LORD.
Among the most wrenching of stories, among the most beautiful and uplifting of all hymns, for evermore. When I hear or sing it, I think of my angel unaware son and of the little girl passed by us too swiftly for a name, I think of my wife of 48 years, I remember comrades lost on missions from here to eternity....
I have performed that song many times over the years. I never knew the story behind that song. I am moved to tears. Never again will I sing this song without recalling the tragedy that led to its creation. As for today - it is well with my soul. Blessings to all.
Wonderful. "All will be well and all will be well and all manner of things will be well" - as was written here in England in the 1300s by the Christian - Dame Julian of Norwich who had some very wise words for us today, much the same as It is well with my soul. Things tend to work out okay even if times are very hard at times.
Wow. I'd heard the story of "It is well with my soul" many times, but never narrated and acted like that. Well done to everyone who put this together!
Thank you so much for this performance. Christians or not...Christmas or not...it has a very touching and powerful message for all. Hope. Peace. It is well with my soul. Amen.
I have sung this Hymn many times. It is a favourite of mine yet until now I never knew the story behind it. It is indeed a testament to the certainty of Gods love and that good can come out of tragedy. Thank you a million times for posting this. God Bless all who listen to it. Alan, a Salvationist.
Hugh Bonneville, as were all of them was absolutely outstanding - what an anointed, Spirit-filled incredible performance - I will share everywhere - please share.
What a wonderful performance. I was in tears and joy but in the end we are all here for a purpose. I pray we all search and find that purpose. Peace
Bonneville was brilliant. That emotion on his face at the end was so genuine. Awesome!
PapaKryptoss the only peace we will find in this life, is the peace the Saviour offers us.
@@ericpatterson6031 Yes, he's one of these actors you can rely on to put on a magnificent performance like that...Except that, like you, I believe he wasn't acting....
And that narrator! God bless him... He's wonderful. I could see him struggling to hold his emotions in check especially towards the end of the story. The kids were wonderful too. I really love this piece.
Amen
Watching from SW Georgia this nearly six months of quarantine. May the encouraging words of this song give us hope and peace through this troublesome time in all of our lives. May God Bless Us All❤
Glad you are taking strength from this song, and the production. I am sure that would touch those who were involved in making it. The hymn seems to be one of those that will stand out to eternity, for its origin, and for its ability to strengthen believers, and lead them to do more than they thought possible in their own strength.
One of my mothers favorite hymns.
This was beautiful. I'm not going to lie, I cried.
The most Beautiful Story I have ever seen. Thank you and God Bless
I was honored and blessed to be able to sing this requested hymn an my mother's funeral in 2015. My son accompanied me on the piano and joined me on the chorus for a duet. My mother was a wonderful example of loving, giving and serving family and friends. She served the Lord and lived to be over 93 years old. I miss her still, especially at Christmas. Growing up my grandmother's (mom's mom) birthday was December 24th. As long as I can remember as a teenager Mom always had bittersweet memories at Christmas. I knew the story behind the writing of the hymn; however this dramatization with music and narration was beautiful. I had no idea of the various examples of service and ministry the family had in later years...what a blessing they were.
What a wonderful gift and how so hard it was.

Whenever we sing this hymn in our church choir, I sing through my tears, at the joy that Christ has rescued us, no matter how dreadful the ordeal Satan has thrown us against. I knew about the shipwreck, but not the rest of the Spaffords' story. What a beautiful presentation.
Didn't realize I would scroll long enough to see Lord Grantham being a conductor
Thank you for the inspiration at this terrible time in history. Jesus is here...
How are you doing 😊😊
I've watched this a few times over the years and has become a holiday favorite. Everything about this production of It is Well With My Soul is superb. A moving story, sweeping melodies, amazing narration (thank Lord Grantham!) and a heartwarming performance. Many thanks for sharing this.
Lord Grantham, it is good to see you this Christmas day
Thank You! "Lord" For sharing your life! with us! and dieing on the cross for us! We all know, you are the true king! of King's! And the devil will never take your throne! Ever! Love you! And I do believe in you!! And you only!!
Lord Grantham in the Temple Square Conference Centre with the Tabernacle Choir!?! Excellent! Seriously, a moving tale which makes one think.
We lost our sweet daughter on February 6, 2011. The next decade formulated a turbulent, new path of life, thanks be to God. "We have a work to do."
Christ's Mass is filled with joy & hope in the Eternal. "It is well with my soul."
I pray this for you.
