Verse 1
D                       G            D
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
     Bm               A
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
D                G                      D
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
      A                        D
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Verse 2
D                           G                    D
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
         Bm              A
Let this blest assurance control,
D               G                    D
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
         A                         D
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

Pre-Chorus
A                 D
It is well (it is well),
G                     D
With my soul (with my soul),

Chorus
D                 G
It is well, it is well,
D                 A            D
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Bridge
Bm                  G                          D
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
    A                          D
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
    Bm                           G          D
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
A                           D
Even so, it is well with my soul.
