“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.
Though Satan should buffet,
though 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, it is well, with my soul.”
In honor of Horatio G. Spafford, whose four daughters drown when their passenger ship collided with another and sank in the Atlantic on this day in 1873. The following month, as his own ship passed over the spot of the earlier tragedy, Spafford penned the words to the enduring hymn, “It is Well With My Soul.”
