It Is Well With My Soul (Joy Tuggy)

Mama came to play for a hymn sing-along at church, and my brother came too. So I put him on the spot and had him sing in a men's quartet, totally unrehearsed, with 3 guys he'd never met before. I thought they did a pretty good job! I just wish they had sung the 3rd verse--the crux of our future! Lyrics follow.

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
(Horatio G Spafford, 1828-1888/Philip P Bliss, 1838-1876)

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!

CHORUS:
It is well, it is well, with my soul, with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.

2. Though Satan should buffett, though trial should come
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and has shed His own blood for my soul.

3. 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!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

4. 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!

Way to go, Smitch. Nice voice! I caught the camera operator (or her neighbor?) humming along. My poor wife has to endure that from me all the time.
