SDAH 530

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.

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.

2
My sin–oh, the joy 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!

3
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.

Song Leader’s Notes
SDA Hymnal Companion

What a blessed experience we have in Jesus. All our sins, not just a part of it but the whole were nailed to the cross and we bear it no more. We are so blessed and whatever happen in our lives, we can sing from the bottom of our hearts:”It Is Well With My Soul” Jesus have paid for the penalty of all our sins when He died on the cross for our salvation. (Lesson 13, 2nd Quarter 2021 -Monday, Guilt Free, 6/21/2021)
