Like ?How Great Thou Art,? ?It Is Well With My Soul? is one of the most well-known and beloved gospel songs/hymns, expressing confidence in the promises of Christ ? his mercy, forgiveness, salvation, and eternal Kingship ? despite the trials and tribulations of this present life. The song?s text has its origins in the tragic events experienced by hymn-writer Horatio Spafford (1828-1888), who in 1871 suffered the death of an infant son and the loss of his personal fortune due to the Great Chicago Fire, and two years later suffered the deaths of his four daughters when the sailing ship Ville du Havre, on which his family was traveling for vacation, was struck by the English ship Lochearn and sank in only 12 minutes. Spafford, who had sent the family ahead while attending to business stateside, sailed to England to meet his surviving wife, and on the journey penned ?It Is Well With My Soul.? Philip Bliss (1838-1876), a teacher, singer, evangelist, gospel music composer, and family friend, wrote the music to accompany Spafford?s text and named the tune ?Ville du Havre.? The text and tune were published together in Gospel Hymns No. 2 (1876), compiled by gospel singer/songwriter Ira D. Sankey and Bliss. This enduring hymn?s comforting words have encouraged countless individuals facing their own trials and tribulations; and its flowing, soaring tune is one of the most memorable in all of hymnody.

This is a Late Intermediate Solo Piano arrangement of the sacred song "It Is Well With My Soul" by Horatio Spafford and Phillip P. Bliss. This arrangement is not very difficult, nor is it very easy. If you're looking for an arrangement that is right in the middle, this is it! I have included musical directional guidance such as finger numbers, dynamics, etc. These help the performer play it with as much ease as possible.
I made this arrangement more sorrowful sounding than the average It Is Well arrangement to help communicate that even though we have the hope of the future heaven, we are still in the stormy trials of the present. Enjoy!~

As an arranger/transcriber, I strive to make my arrangements/sheets as high-quality and performer-friendly as possible. If you enjoy this arrangement, please feel free to contact me to make requests for future arrangements! Also, if there is anything you dislike about the arrangement, or edits you believe are necessary, I will definitely consider adding them/updating the arrangement if you contact me!
