Lyrics

Verse 1
Through the love of God our Savior,  
All, all will be well  
Free and changeless is His favor,  
All, all is well  
Precious is the blood that healed us  
Perfect is the grace that sealed us  
Strong the hand stretched out to shield us  
All, all must be well 

Verse 2
Though we pass through tribulation,  
All, all will be well  
Ours is such a full salvation,  
All, all is well  
Happy still in God confiding  
Fruitful if in Christ abiding  
Holy through the Spirit's guiding  
All, all must be well 

Verse 3
We expect a bright tomorrow;  
All, all will be well  
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,  
All, all is well  
On our Father's love relying  
Jesus every need supplying  
Or in living or in dying  
All, all must be well

About This Hymn

In suffering, we need hymns that remind us of God's character and stir us up to hope in him.  This text from 19th-century lyricist, Mary Bowley Peters, takes us on a journey in each verse.  We begin by saying in faith, "All will be well," despite our challenging circumstances.  As we meditate on who God is and see his present provision, we can then say, "All is well."  Finally, as we dig deeper into the riches of God's love and grace toward us in Christ, we can say with humble confidence that "All must be well."
