‘’IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL’’

The hymn story about how/why it was written is a real tear jerker.

It sure is........hard to imagine how he felt.

For those that don't know, just Google who wrote "It is Well With My Soul".......grab a tissue.

On November 22, 1873, the British sailing freighter Loch Earn collided with the French steam-sailer Ville du Havre, a passenger liner, which went down with most of its passengers and crew. The wreck inspired Horatio Spafford, who lost most of his family in the wreck, to write the hymn "It Is Well with My Soul," whose tune name is Ville du Havre. Soon afterwards, Phillip Paul Bliss, who wrote the music to which the hymn was set, died in a train wreck near Ashtabula, Ohio.
