> Wow. I've never heard of it before, but I love the words to that hymn. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any music for it online that matches your description. I've got a hymnal here at home that has "Eventide" as the music for the hymn, though, so maybe I can get my wife to pick it out on the keyboard for me.

Here you go. I recommend the "Four Voices" version. It is more true to the actual hymn and does not include any accompaniment that was not actually written in the original hymn.

This is one of my favorite hymns as well. There are a select few songs that make me cry when I sing them at church services. This is among them. Also among them are "Just As I Am" and "It is Well". I'll see if I can find links to them as well.

It Is Well With My Soul

Note: In the text of this hymn, there is a verse missing. The missing verse(second in order, for those who are counting)follows:
Though Satan should buffet, thought trials should come,
Let this bless'd assurance control
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed his own blood for my soul.

Just As I Am

Well, that's my contribution, and I would be proud to have any and all of those in my funeral.

Shan-without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me and that thou bidst me come to thee-dar
