1. IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
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
It is well
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 Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood for my soul
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
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!
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
2. WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD IN THE STORMS OF LIFE
1. Will your anchor hold in the storms of life
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
CHORUS:
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!
2. It is safely moored, ‘twill the storm withstand,
For ’tis well secured by the Saviour’s hand,
And the cables, passed from His heart to mine,
Can defy the blast through strength divine.
3. It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told the reef is near; Though the tempest rage and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.
4. It will surely hold in the flood of death,
When the waters cold, chill our latest breath,
On the rising tide it can never fail, While our hopes abide within the veil!
5. When our eyes behold, through the gathering night
The city of gold, our harbour bright,
We shall anchor fast by the heavenly shore,
With the storms all past for evermore.
3. THE COMFORTER HAS COME
1. O spread the tidings round,
Wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts
and human woes abound.
Let every Christian tongue
proclaim the joyful sound:
The Comforter has come!
CHORUS
The Comforter has come!
The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from heav’n,
the Father’s promise giv’n,
O spread the tidings ’round,
wherever man is found:
The Comforter has come!
2. The long, long night is past;
the morning breaks at last;
And hushed the dreadful wail
and fury of the blast,
As o’er the golden hills
the day advances fast!
The Comforter has come!
3. Lo, the great King of kings,
with healing in His wings,
To every captive soul
a full deliv’rance brings;
And thro’ the vacant cells
the song of triumph rings;
The Comforter has come!
4. O boundless love divine!
How shall this tongue of mine
To wond’ring mortals tell
the matchless grace divine –
That I, a child of hell,
should in His image shine?
The Comforter has come!

4. ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND
1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus name.
CHORUS:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness seems to veil His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3. His oath, His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
5. I’VE FOUND A FRIEND IN JESUS
1. I’ve found a friend in Jesus,
He’s everything to me,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort,
In trouble He’s my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll.
He’s the Lily of the Valley,
the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
2. He all my griefs has taken,
and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r;
I’ve all for Him forsaken,
and all my idols torn
From my heart and now
He keeps me by His pow’r.
Though all the world forsake me,
and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
3. He’ll never, never leave me,
nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me,
I’ve nothing now to fear,
From His manna
He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see
His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll.
