"It Is Well With My Soul" (1873, 1876) - lyrics penned by Horatio Spafford, instrumental melody composed by Philip Bliss.
Horatio Spafford wrote this song in faith, following his experience of tragedy, which has similarity to some of what befell the man Job in the Bible. The testimony of Mr. Spafford has been circulated on Facebook a few times; if you haven't read it, I encourage you to Google it! All you have to do is look up "It Is Well With My Soul," and the story will follow...

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
-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 Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for 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!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.
And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
A song in the night, oh my soul!
