5 Postlude 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 with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, has shed His own blood for my soul. Yes, we ll gar at river, beautiful river; Gar with sats at river, river that flows by throne God. And Lord, haste day when my shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul. Words by Horatio G.
