    Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more

    And, Lord haste the day when the faith shall be sight
             Am               D         G
    The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
         C            F              D          G 
    The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend
         C           F     G      C
    Even so - it is well with my soul
