A favourite hymn of many churches over the past decade, Gareth Simmonds approaches the track with fresh eyes, introducing the ‘My Heart Can Sing’ bridge section, whilst not straying from the original melody throughout allowing the familiarity to resonate with the congregation.

Lyrics
When peace like a river, attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, you’ve 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
My sin O the Bliss of that 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 Oh my soul
Through Sun and rain, through the joy and pain,
My heart can sing it is well
For on the cross, You have silenced hell
So my heart can sing it is well
And Lord haste the day, when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back, as a scroll
The trumpet resounds, and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul
