When tears seem natural,
You taught me to sing,
“It is well with my soul.”

When peace flows like a river,
You taught me to sing,
“It is well with my soul.”

If troubles like billows roll,
You taught me to sing,
“It is well with my soul.”

When happiness is the order of day,
You taught me to sing,
“It is well with my soul.”

When my environs burn like fire,
You taught me to sing,
“It is well with my soul.”

When the ride seems smooth,
You taught me to sing,
“It is well with my soul.”

Whatever my lot,
You taught me to sing,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”
