It is Well

Jen posted It is Well with my soul (the hymn) over at her blog.

I saw it and thought....hold on....that's not right, and mentioned it to her.
She asked if I would post my version.

so...here goes: oh...found this here.

When Peace Like A River
(It Is Well)
lyrics by Horatio G. Spafford, 1828-1888
music Philip P. Bliss, 1876

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrow like sea billows roll;
What ever 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, it is well with my soul
with my soul;

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control.
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And has shed his own blood for my soul.

It is well with my soul;
It is well
It is well, it is well with my soul
with my soul;

My sin--O 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!

It is well with my soul;
It is well
It is well, it is well with my soul
with my soul;

O Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trumpet 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, it is well with my soul
with my soul.

Now Jen's version has these verses added

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.

Refrain

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!
Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!

The first of these verses I have seen before but remember them differently. I just can't for the life of me remember right now why. I do know that part of it was switching from old english to new english and that changes the sound of a verse. But pang was pain I think and something else was different too. But the next verse is all new to me! :) I have to say though... I wish more hymn books carried it. I like it!
