God Is With Us
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.
He Has Saved Us
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.
It is well, it is well with my soul!
Heaven Awaits Us
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!
