This hymn was written after traumatic events in Spafford's life. The first was the death of his son at the age of 2 and the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which ruined him financially (he had been a successful lawyer and had invested significantly in property in the area of Chicago that was extensively damaged by the great fire). His business interests were further hit by the economic downturn of 1873, at which time he had planned to travel to Europe with his family on the SS Ville du Havre. In a late change of plan, he sent the family ahead while he was delayed on business concerning zoning problems following the Great Chicago Fire. While crossing the Atlantic, the ship sank rapidly after a collision with a sea vessel, the Loch Earn, and all four of Spafford's daughters died. His wife Anna survived and sent him the now famous telegram, "Saved alone …". Shortly afterwards, as Spafford traveled to meet his grieving wife, he was inspired to write these words as his ship passed near where his daughters had died.

1.നദീതുല്യംശാന്തി വരട്ടെൻ വഴി

2.വൻ ദുഃഖം പ്രയാസങ്ങൾ എറിയാലും
നിരാശനായി തീരില്ല ഞാൻ

3.പിശാചിൻ തന്ത്രങ്ങൾ പരീക്ഷകളും

എൻ പക്ഷം, ഉള്ളതാൽ ജയമേ…….
ക്ഷേമം താൻ,
ദേഹിക്കു,
ക്ഷേമംതാൻ, ക്ഷേമം എൻ ദേഹിക്കു……..
1.
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul

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

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
