This hy mn
was written after two major traumas in
Spafford’s life. The first was the great
Chicago Fire of October 1871, which ruined him
financially (he had been a wealthy
businessman). Shortly after, while
crossing the Atlantic, all four of
Spafford’s daughters died in a collision
with another ship. Spafford’s wife Anna
survived and sent him the now famous
telegram, “Saved alone.” Several weeks
later, as Spafford’s own ship passed
near the spot where his daughters died,
the Holy Spirit inspired these words.
They speak to the eternal hope that all
believers have, no matter what pain and
grief befall them on earth.

The Power of Hope...
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.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should
buffet, tho' trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless
estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
My sin—oh, the bliss
of this glorious tho't:
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 is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
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.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
