It Is Well
Jeremy & Adie Camp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When sorrow like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou has 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 not in part but the whole
A nail to the cross and I'll bear them no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh, my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
We sing holy, holy, holy, we sing holy, holy, holy
And we sing holy is Your name, oh, most high
We sing holy, holy, holy, we sing holy, holy, holy
And we sing holy is Your name, oh, most high
And Lord please haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trumpets shall resound and the Lord shall descend
Even so it is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
The song “It is Well” by Jeremy & Adie Camp has beautiful lyrics with deep meaning. In the first verse, the lyrics describe the journey of life with its ups and downs, and how it is essential to remain steadfast in one's faith. Even when there are moments of peace, and everything seems to be going as planned, there will be other times when sorrow takes over like the waves of a sea. However, in all of life's circumstances, the lyrics say that one should learn to say, “It is well with my soul.”
In the next verse, the song speaks about the importance of forgiveness for one's sins. The lyrics express the comfort of knowing that one's entire sin has been nailed to the cross, and no more will one have to bear it. Instead, the lyrics urge one to praise the Lord for the mercy that has been given to them. In the final verse, the lyrics describe the anticipation and hope that one has for the day when they will get to see their faith turn into sight. The lyrics speak of the time when the Lord shall descend from heaven, and everything will be made right. Even then, they will be able to say, “It is well with my soul.”

I'm so bummed, I've searched high and low. Jeremy and Adie's version is not available anywhere to download. Best version of this classic hymn I've ever heard. Adie's soft background harmony is like an angel singing.

Người Bán Đờn - Nhạc Cụ HCM
Khi tôi được bình tịnh dường sông chảy theo dòng đời,
Hoặc lắm thống bi như ba đào sôi,
Hoàn cảnh dẫu ra sao, Ngài dạy cứ nói sắt đinh:
Linh hồn ôi, ta yên ninh, thật yên ninh!
Tâm linh tôi yên ninh thay!
Lòng tôi nay bình an thay, bình an thay!
A-men.
2. Sa-tan luôn giày đạp, đời tôi trải cơn tập rèn,
Tôi vẫn vững tâm luôn không hề quên,
Rằng Chúa biết tôi đây, vô phương cách để thắng hơn,
Tuôn dòng huyết cứu rỗi bởi lòng khoan nhân.
3. Vinh thay tư niệm này, thật tôi thỏa vui mực nào,
Ngài xóa hết, không lưu một tội nao;
Nhờ Chúa đóng đinh xưa, nay tôi thoát khỏi ách ma,
Linh hồn hỡi, chúc tán Chúa chuộc mua ta!
4. Tôi mong mau được nhìn điều lòng vẫn tin xưa rày,
Khi cuốn đám mây đen trên trời nay;
Kèn trổi tiếng trên không, Vua vinh hiển tái lâm ngay,
Linh hồn hát; Yên ninh thay, bình an thay!
When peace like a riv-er at-tend-eth my way,
When sor-rows like sea bil-ows roll,
What-ev-er 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!
And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scoll,
The trump shall re-sound, and the Lord shall de-scend!
E-ven so, it is well with my soul! It is well with my soul!
Tâm Linh Tôi Yên Ninh Thay!
1. Khi tôi được bình tịnh dường sông chảy theo đường đời
Hoặc lắm thống bi như bao đào sôi
Hoàn cảnh dẫu ra sao, Christ khuyên cứ nói sắt đinh:
Linh hồn ôi, ta yên ninh, thật yên ninh
ĐK:
Tâm linh tôi, yên ninh thay
Lòng tôi nay bình an thay, bình an thay
2. Vinh thay tư niệm nầy, thật tôi thỏa vui mực nào
Christ xóa hết không lưu một tội nao
Nhờ Chúa đóng đinh xưa, nay tôi thoát khỏi ách ma
Linh hồn hỡi, chúc tán Chúa chuộc mua ta
3. Tôi mong mau được nhìn điều lòng vẫn tin xưa rày
Khi cuốn đám mây đen trên đời nay
Kèn trổi tiếng trên không, Jêsus Christ tái lâm ngay
Linh hồn hát: Yên ninh thay, bình an thay
