Yoakam, Dwight - It Is Well With My Soul Lyrics
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well - it is well, with my soul.
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul.
My sin O 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
[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
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.
[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul.
[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul...

Horatio G. Spafford was a successful lawyer and
businessman in Chicago with a lovely family — a wife, Anna, and five
children. However, they were not strangers to tears and tragedy. Their
young son died with pneumonia in 1871, and in that same year, much of
their business was lost in the great Chicago fire. Yet, God in His mercy
and kindness allowed the business to flourish once more.
On Nov. 21, 1873, the French ocean liner, Ville
du Havre was crossing the Atlantic from the U.S. to Europe with 313
passengers on board. Among the passengers were Mrs. Spafford and their
four daughters. Although Mr. Spafford had planned to go with his family,
he found it necessary to stay in Chicago to help solve an unexpected
business problem. He told his wife he would join her and their children
in Europe a few days later. His plan was to take another ship
About four days into the crossing of the Atlantic, the Ville
du Harve collided with a powerful, iron-hulled Scottish ship, the Loch
Earn. Suddenly, all of those on board were in grave danger. Anna
hurriedly brought her four children to the deck. She knelt there with
Annie, Margaret Lee, Bessie and Tanetta and prayed that God would spare
them if that could be His will, or to make them willing to endure
whatever awaited them. Within approximately 12 minutes, the Ville du
Harve slipped beneath the dark waters of the Atlantic, carrying with it
226 of the passengers including the four Spafford children.
A sailor, rowing a small boat over the spot where the ship
went down, spotted a woman floating on a piece of the wreckage. It was
Anna, still alive. He pulled her into the boat and they were picked up
by another large vessel which, nine days later, landed them in Cardiff,
Wales. From there she wired her husband a message which began, “Saved
alone, what shall I do?” Mr. Spafford later framed the telegram and
placed it in his office.
Another of the ship’s survivors, Pastor Weiss, later
recalled Anna saying, “God gave me four daughters. Now they have been
taken from me. Someday I will understand why.”
Mr. Spafford booked passage on the next available ship and
left to join his grieving wife. With the ship about four days out, the
captain called Spafford to his cabin and told him they were over the
place where his children went down.
According to Bertha Spafford Vester, a daughter born after
the tragedy, Spafford wrote “It Is Well With My Soul” while on this
journey.
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.
Chorus:
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul
Anna gave birth to three more children, one of which died at
age four with dreaded pneumonia. In August 1881, the Spaffords moved to
Jerusalem. Mr. Spafford died and is buried in that city.
And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding,
shall keep your hearts, your minds through Christ Jesus. - Philippians
4:7.
My very favorite song and singer. Can't get any better
OH MY...this is favorite my gospel song.
Fabulous !!!!
I've been listening to and appreciating Dwight Y. for decades, since he started out, when his first releases were on LP records. I like all his songs, I love his artistry. But this song, his treatment of this song, is astonishing. Feeling down? Having some troubles over this or that? Whatever. Put this song on and listen to it until you get some perspective. You'll see things as they really are, and that trouble, fear, sorrow will vanish and you'll feel the joy that suffuses all life at all times, that is shooting through your soul.
Moving and beautiful voice
beautiful
This song, your version, Dwight, means so much to me. It helped get me through 6 weeks of radiation a few years ago, and I can never thank you enough for this.
