IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL (Sou feliz com Jesus)

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain

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

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

Refrain

My sin, oh, 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!

Refrain

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!

Refrain

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Refrain

Joe Pearles - Where The Roses Never Fade

Este hino não existe no hinário #4 da CCB

I AM GOING TO A CITY,
WHERE THE STREETS WITH GOLD ARE LAID.
WHERE THE TREE OF LIFE IS BLOOMING,
AND THE ROSES NEVER FADE.

HERE THEY BLOOM BUT FOR A SEASON;
SOON THEIR BEAUTY IS DECAYED.
I AM GOING TO A CITY,
WHERE THE ROSES NEVER FADE.

LOVED ONES GONE TO BE WITH JESUS,
IN THEIR ROBES OF WHITE ARRAYED.
NOW ARE WAITING FOR MY COMING,
WHERE THE ROSES NEVER FADE.

HERE THEY BLOOM BUT FOR A SEASON;
SOON THEIR BEAUTY IS DECAYED.
I AM GOING TO A CITY,
WHERE THE ROSES NEVER FADE.

WHERE THE ROSES NEVER FADE...
NEVER FADE.
