It Is Well ...

When Peace, like a river, attendeth my way...

It is well, it is well, with my Soul.





Text from the hymn It Is Well With My Soul, Horatio G. Spafford (1873)

I never sing, or think of, this song without recall of the Story behind it. And I am so glad that You mention it, Lime, my Soul Partner, for yours is what I acknowledge as the Voice of Lady Muse today ... so i will now post that remarkable story as well. Thank you, Sweet Spirit Friend!

Lovely to Love You ...

glad to have been able to spark the remembrance. it's a story that never fails to stop me in my tracks.

Me too! Which is why I felt that I had to find a good rendition of the story and share it ... as I have done in the post-dated posting just beneath this. Thanks again, Lime!
