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.

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.

FRAGMENT "O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandants then had thy peace been as a
river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea."_Isaiah 48:18
