Lord, thou hast said it, thy Word standeth sure - "It is well"
(James George Deck/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

"It is well."

2 King 4,26.

"Say to the righteous, that it shall be well with him." (Isaiah 3,10)

1. Lord, thou hast said it, thy Word standeth sure,
      "Say, it is well, it is well!"
"Yea and amen," it shall ever endure,
      yes, it is well, it is well!
Well, when the sunshine beams bright o'er my head;
well, when the light and the sunshine are fled;
well, when the future looks shrouded in dread;
      still it is well, it is well! PDF - Midi

2. Lord, when I gaze on the face of thy Son,
      then all is well, all is well!
Viewing with rapture the work he has done,
      then all is well, all is well!
When I am learning the God that thou art,
when I am tasting thy grace in my heart,
thy loving-kindness, which ne'er shall depart,
      all, all is well, all is well!

3. When I am searching the Word at thy feet,
      Lord, it is well, it is well!
Purer than gold, yea, than honey more sweet,
      Lord, it is well, it is well!
When all thy riches of mercy I trace,
seeing thy glory in Jesus's face,
and I am learning thy counsels of grace,
      Lord, it is well, it is well!

4. Lord, when I'm bending before mercy's throne,
      then it is well, it is well!
Pleading his blood, and his merits alone,
      Lord, it is well, it is well!
When I'm confessing each failure and stain,
learning thy mercy again and again,
how grace abounding rejoices to reign,
      Lord, it is well, it is well!

5. Lord, shouldst thou call me from life to depart,
      all would be well, would be well!
My happy spirit would be where thou art;
      all would be well, would be well!
But when thy ransomed to meet thee arise,
when thy bright glories burst forth on our eyes,
how loud the chorus shall swell through the skies!
      LORD, ALL IS WELL, ALL IS WELL!
