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, it is well, with my soul, with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.|
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Yahshua hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed his own blood for my soul.
Refrain.
My sin - O the bliss of the glorious thought! - My sin - not in part, but the whole, Is nailed to his cross and I bear it no more; Praise YAHWEH, praise YAHWEH, O my soul!
Refrain.
And, YAH, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trump shall resound, and the Master shall descend; "Even so" - it is well with my soul.
Refrain.
(H. G. Spafford - P. P. Bliss, "Hymns and Tunes," Review and Herald, 1907)

“Crown him with many crowns, The Lamb upon his throne; Hark! how the heav’nly anthem drowns All music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing Of him who died for thee; And hail him as thy matchless King Thro’ all eternity.”
“Crown him the Mast(er) of love! Behold his hands and side, Those wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified: No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his wond’ring eye At mysteries so great.”
“Crown him the Mast(er) of peace! Whose hand a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, And all be pray’r and praise: His reign shall know no end, And round his pierced feet Fair flow’rs of paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet.”
“Crown him the Mast(er) of years, The Potentate of time, Creator of the rolling spheres, Ineffably sublime! All hail Redeemer, hail For thou hast died for me; Thy praise shall never, never fail Throughout eternity!”
(M. Bridges, ‘Christ in Song,’ 1908) Study: 1 Timothy 6:13-16

“Live out Thy life within me, O Yahshua, King of kings! Be Thou Thyself the answer To all my questionings; Live out Thy life within me, In all things have Thy way! I, the transparent medium Thy glory to display.”
“The temple has been yielded, And purified of sin; Let Thy Shekinah glory Now shine forth from within, And all earth keep silence, The body henceforth be Thy silent, gentle servant, Moved only as by Thee,”
“Its members ev’ry moment Held subject to Thy call, Ready to have Thee use them, Or not be used at all; Held without restless longing, Or strain, or stress, or fret, Or chafings at Thy dealings, Or tho’ts of vain regret;”
“But restful, calm and pliant, From bend and bias free, Awaiting Thy decision, When Thou hast need of me. Live out Thy life within me, O Yahshua, King of kings! Be Thou the glorious answer To all my questionings!”
(F. R. Havergal, ‘Christ in Song,’) 1908

The Sabbath, the Saturday!
“Don’t forget the Sabbath, YAHWEH our God hath blest, Of all the week the brightest, Of all the week the best; It brings repose from labor, It tells of joy divine, Its beems of light descending, With heav’nly beauty shine.”
Refrain:
|Welcome, welcome ever welcome, Blessed Sabbath-day. Welcome, welcome ever welcome, Blessed Sabbath-day.|
“Keep the Sabbath holy, and worship him today, Who said to his disciples ‘I am the Living Way;’ And if we meekly follow, Our Saviour here below, He’ll give us of the Fountain Whose streams eternal flow.”
Refrain.
“Day of sacred pleasure! Its golden hours we’ll spend, In thankful hymns to Yahshua, The children’s dearest friend; O gentle, loving Saviour, How good and kind thou art, How precious is thy promise To dwell in ev’ry heart!”
Refrain.
(Fanny Crosby, ‘Christ in Song,’) 1908
Great is Thy faithfulness," O God my Father, There his no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Refrain:
"Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!" Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided, "Great is Thy faithfulness!" YAHWEH to me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
Refrain.
Pardon for sin and (a) peace that endureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, With ten thousand beside!
Refrain.
(Thomas O. Chrisholm, William M. Runyan - Hymns of the Christian Life, 1936)
