My Husband passed away five years now . Faith took me to where I am now. Grateful to the mercy and love of God and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ Infinite Atonement that took me to Hope that made all things possible if truly Repent and repent daily through Him all things possible. Hope can heal sorrow souls. It is well It is well with my soul. How I love the Words and Lyrics of this beautiful Rendition.
I was feeling lost. During the Christmas season, there is no one. My mother died this year; there is no one. I am a widow; all aunts, uncles, and cousins have passed. I have no children. I felt so sad. Now, it is well with my soul. This performance pulled me right out of the deep black hole. I am alive, and my work continues. The concert was brilliant. ❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you a thousand times.
Ah, Stephanie. Not for one moment have you been out of God's sight. I don't know what He has ahead for you. But I can tell you this - you are now and have always, ALWAYS, been significant, precious, and treasured by our Father God. I pray you come to know Him more richly in the days ahead.
Stephanie, please try your best to not give into that "alone" feeling. It's only temporary...always a phase and always phases are temporary. You are not ever 100% alone. Jesus does not allow that ever! Talk with others...smile at kind looking little families and children. Go shopping and stroll around but only buy something small for someone else~♡
May God's choicest blessings be yours! Life can feel so lonely at times. I know that God loves you and you have many guardian angels watching over you! Merry Christmas!
57 years ago all four of my immediate family, mother, father, brother and sister died in an air crash. I did not travel with them. This hymn is my favourite, eloquently in words and music, expressing the peace I now feel.
My husband went to heaven three years ago. He loved this hymn and always had tears rolling down his cheeks, but he did not know the story. I wish we had known it, and he always said he wanted this hymn sung at his funeral. It took me hours to find our CD with this hymn but late at night I found the CD with David Phelps singing! He would have been so pleased. For some reason I have missed him very much today and I came across this video tonight. I can say IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!
Thank you, dear Hugh , and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Utah symphony, for sharing this lovely story of love and faith. I pray Almighty God is with all of us. Thank you Jesus.
For you reading this, l pray that God's grace will be sufficient for you, your feet will never slip and our Hope in JESUS CHRIST will heal us ALL! AMEN. 💓💖💐💕
My uncle is leaving soon to be with Jesus forever. My sister just sang this song to him by his beside in the hospital. This hymn has soothed many a grieving soul over the years. It speaks for our hurting hearts when we have no words.
I am in the middle of yet another crippling migraine and the words to this beautiful hymn bring me comfort and peace. I know that my Lord and Saviour suffered much worse pain than I in order to save us all from the ravishes of hell. I raise my head as I listen to this beautiful sacred words and feel God’s amazing strength all around me as I lay in my bed. I’m 72 and Praise The Lord, it is well with my soul.
I lost my wife earlier this year. As Christmas has neared, I have struggled despite knowing she awaits me in Heaven. But I am reminded of the peace I have with this song. Thank you Lord.
Almost 3 years ago we lost a daughter. We used this hymn at her memorial service because I knew the story behind the hymn. If someone who just lost daughters like we just lost our one, could write such wonderful words, I had to use it. She is gone but it is well with my soul. Rest in God's arms Tara.
Before my devout Christian Mother passed away in the hospital, she told me everything was gonna be ok. I knew what she meant and I found comfort, even in her passing. A comfort that can only be found in Jesus Christ. I still miss my mother dearly but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt.....IT IS WELL.
My favorite verse to this song is, “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!
3 years before I lost my wife to COVID . The world shattered me and my 3 daughters . Today we stand as a testimony of God's faithfulness and Grace . This hymn is a beautiful Hymn reminding whatever valley situation we go through we must be able to put our trust in Jesus and say " it's well with my soul"
Hugh Bonneville is a master at narration! I latch on to every word every phrase. A wonderful actor. May he be blessed with years of success and goodwill
I have been widow for fourteen ,ears ,February 20,2025,GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH HIS PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT AND GUIDED me through so much,things that would be impossible BUT FATHER GOD RICHLY BLESSD AND ALWAYS THERE TO HELP ME,OH SO AMAZING HOW MUCH GOD HAS DONE FOR ME,HE IS ALWAYS THERE ,NEVER GIVE IN KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS, JESUS SUFFERED AND BLED AND ,DIED ,AND ROSE AGAIN,ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, HE WILL TAKE US SAFTTY HOME,LOOK UP FOR OUR REDEEMTION DRAWETH NEIGH!!!!!!!
Mr. Bonneville; I don't know if YOU will ever realize yourself how beautifully timed this video was, and how much of a purpose you had fulfilled. God Bless You, and all the choir indeed!!
My 2 year old grandson was abducted in 2006 days later his mom my daughter passed away. This song has given me much faith and strength knowing the faith this man had. Everytime I hear this I’m brought to tears. The words are very powerful and restores my strength and faith to continue on and never give up hope my grandson will be recovered.
I pray this as well. He is 18 now, so I pray soon he matures enough to start questioning and searching on his own. The simple genealogy DNA tests are reuniting families again and again, many who were never even aware they had been abducted. I pray your family becomes one them!
I hope you hold out hope, one day, for a glorious, joyous reunion. This season, and this wonderful hymn, is a reminder that, eventually, all that is wrong in life may be made right through Christ Jesus. Warm Regards and Best Wishes, Along With Sincerest Condolences for Your Losses, -Ken K. Gourdin
I knew this story behind the song but I'm still moved to tears by hearing you tell it. This is also the first time I've heard "the rest of the story". You did a beautiful job of telling it Mr Bonneville.
100%! I knew how the hymn came about (the treacherous sea voyage) but had no idea about the rest of the family's story. Incredible! What a blessing to so many 🙏
I pray that, as we're entering this holiday season celebrating the birth of Christ, that it will be well with your soul. May you find peace, joy, and a deep well-being whenever you think of your son and any others lost in the accident. Again, I say, may it be well with your soul.
Amen. Staying connected with others and hearing their stories makes your own burdon lighter, as it lifts you out of your own pain and heaviness, and you realize life is difficult for everyone and you are not alone or picked out alone for a life of difficulty or loneliness.
This Christmas (2024) will be the 8th Christmas without my sweet daughter, Rachel. She passed away in my arms just weeks before her 4th birthday from brain cancer. I begged the Lord that her death would not ruin me, would not ruin my family and-- most importantly-- would not make me hate Him. I didn't want to be separated from a truly great and benevolent God, if He was there. I wasn't sure by the time we had to sign the DNR. Her passing was more painful than I could have imagined, but also strangely filled with more peace, gratitude and witness of God than i ever knew possible.
This is one of the most beautiful & uplifting experiences I have been fortunate enough to witness. After several years of sorrow & feeling empty & alone, I began to feel better & happier than I had felt in years since this summer. Today I happened upon this program w/ Hugh Bonneville as the narrator & the wonderful Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s uplifting voices singing the words to the song. But it was the addition of the acting out of the story of the family who lost so much, especially their dear children. Yet the parents faith & belief in God’s power to heal even the most hurting of hearts that moved me the most. I am learning this lesson of rising above the sorrow & tragedies of life one step at a time. I thank you for sharing this amazing story, the music & the voices of the Choir & Mr. Bonneville’s presence to tell the story so well! God bless you all!
One of the absolute finest things to ever air on Television. We were actually there in person on this night. There is such a powerful spirit in this whole story. Truly, out of the ashes and through the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can all be healed, reunited, and sealed up in the heavens to our everlasting and Eternal Parents. The storms of life provide the training ground and experience we all need. Every curriculum is tailor-made to suit us to what we each need. God be thanked for the gift of His divine Son!
I don't know how these people are able to hold themselves together emotionally when performing something like this... Incredible arrangement, narration, and delivery. Also, congratulations to the recording technicians (audio and video) who produce these amazing products... no small feat with something this complex.
Horatio Spafford seems like the Job of his time. That poor man, his poor wife, and their poor family. It is amazing to me that he kept the faith. I pray to have an ounce of his faithfulness.
I’m just feeling myself falling into panic & depression. So much has changed in my life & I know others are suffering too. If it were not for Jesus.. smh..🙏🏻😣
I needed this today! How the world has needed this message since it was performed in December of 2019. God bless you Hugh Bonneville, The Tabernacle Choir, and everyone suffering in the world today.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! 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!
It has always been my favorite verse as well, for without the redemptive work of Christ completed on the cross, I would never be able to say "it is well with my soul"!
This was my grandma’s favorite song and today it’s mine as well. Even with Alzheimer’s disease she’d remembered and sang this for me. May God bless us all!
This song has grounded me through many storms of life. I am so thankful for a heritage of faith that we have in Christ and in the Body of Christ, those who believe in Him. There is no peace, except in Christ. Life is hard. He is faithful.
Thank You BBC. My favorite song because I lost my Public Service job in Papua New Guinea but was offered another job as Deputy High Commissioner for Papua New Guinea in London from 1996-1999, where my Four Children were given their Confirmation as Children of God at the St. Anne's Lutheran Church in London by a German Pastor Smeizh. It Is Well. Amen.
My mum took ill before Christmas 3yrs ago and passed on in the new year. Since then Christmas has become a time of apprehension for us all, although we try to exercise our faith. This song is a great comfort to us that indeed it is well with our souls. Thanks for this concert
We lost our sweet daughter on February 6, 2011. The next decade formulated a turbulent, new path of life, thanks be to God. "We have a work to do." Christ's Mass is filled with joy & hope in the Eternal. "It is well with my soul." I pray this for you.
There is only one reason that it can be well with my soul ...and that is the hope and promise found in Jesus Christ our saviour who sacrificed himself that we may all be reunited again. What a glorious certainty for those who follow Him ... 💖🤗 turn to Him and be saved.
Even though it's not Christmas myself was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer two years ago I was lost not even to be in church now I go every Sunday and listen to this song every night the word keep me out of the dark and keep me going
I, a grown man, wants to cry every time this song is sung. Because I remember the inspiration for it. As you say here. A man who lost his family was inspired to write it. Very moving song. Very emotional.
So so heart moving. Truth! Live By the love & light we have known. When the darkness returns, again set your course by the Light of Christ who shines in each of Us, His follower. We are each to care for our rose of Sharon (Song of Solomon) This display of family’s love continuing that this Faith is a testimony to Us all, in prose, “It is well, it is well, with my soul!” Beautiful❤
It is REALLY well with my soul. Thank you for reminding us that sorrow is the road to the story of love, hope and redemption en-fleshed in Jesus at Bethlehem.
From India. I have heard this historical hymn many times and sang in the Egmore Wesley Church Choir. Your narration brought the tears in my eyes. I listened to the song again and again. Bring out such stories of other popular songs also. I am 70 years old. Pray for my family and my ministry. We help the poor children to go to school from remote villages. At present 192 students are studying in five hostels.
God! What a flurry of emotions... I couldn't hold back my tears as I listened to the narrator. I didn't even know whether my tears are for the story or the song. I remembered my Dad today and how we lost him. But like this faithful family, I say it's well with my soul
It's one of those rare moments when truly inspiring words spawned from tragic events were given a truly inspiring melody. Even unbelievers who sing this song in church start to cry! The only time that ever happened again was with the theme song to Titanic, people had the same emotional reaction.
The first time my pastor taught us about Horatio Spafford, I lost it. As a mother to three daughters, the idea of continuing on after something like that seems truly insurmountable. I'm incredibly faithful in my loving God...but I'll admit, that would test it so greatly. More than anything else I could go through. I pray constantly that I will never find myself in a situation like this.
We all have the freedom to make choices of all sort as we go though our days. My choice is to follow Jesus Christ all the day of my life, asking that he guide me and teach me the best pathway for my life, that he keep a watch over me, protect from evil and grant me His peace. And, that He help me become an instrument through which His Will becomes evident in the things that I think, do and say.
I imagined one day when I was already in Heaven. We will continue to praise the name of the Lord Jesus every day and the joyful faces will continue to color our lives. No more sickness, no more sin, only glorifying the name of the Lord Jesus. Thanks for this vids! Im so excited to the resf of life. Jesus Bless Us..
What a wonderful story of a families faith saving them from pain and giving them the strength and courage to do so much to for others. That it continues today is a a testament to what faith can do, so uplifting and inspiring.
I was born and raised in Southern Gospel music just like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash . We knew all of the same friends in the industry . But I can say , I have never heard such a choir as '' The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square ! ''.
God bless everyone who put this fantastic production together. Lovely! Heart warming! It blessed my soul, gave me renewed hope. Thank you, Jesus. It is well with my soul
When my mom died I picked this Hymn for my mother's funeral. It was a great comfort to my dad & I as He & I put our Faith in joining her Soul in the future Mansion prepared for them in the Kingdom of Heaven.
I am so blessed to have been able to learn the history of this song. My sister sings this song when things are not going well, also when things are brighter. She, as well as I, Take comfort in knowing that whatever comes our way. 'It is well, it is well with my soul.'🎼
What a stellar performance! Thankfully, I had tissues nearby. Thank you to Mr. Bonneville for a fantastic narration, to the Choir for their Heavenly voices, and those in the cast. God bless you all!
Watching from SW Georgia this nearly six months of quarantine. May the encouraging words of this song give us hope and peace through this troublesome time in all of our lives. May God Bless Us All❤
Glad you are taking strength from this song, and the production. I am sure that would touch those who were involved in making it. The hymn seems to be one of those that will stand out to eternity, for its origin, and for its ability to strengthen believers, and lead them to do more than they thought possible in their own strength.
I’ve been feeling down recently. I turned this on for a completely unrelated reason, but hearing it a few time, “it is well with my soul” is clearly something I needed to hear.
What a beautiful way to receive a Blessing! Sincere thanks to all the persons involved to make this possible for all of us. May God keep hearing your soul reaching out to HIM in prayer saying: “IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL”. This is a lesson and Blessing for a lifetime inspired from above.
Hugh Bonneville, as were all of them was absolutely outstanding - what an anointed, Spirit-filled incredible performance - I will share everywhere - please share.
Being a Downton Abbey fan, Hugh Bonneville showed up in my TH-cam recommendation videos. What a beautiful, inspiring and moving performance! It Is Well is one of my favorite songs. Merry Christmas everyone! God's blessings to you and yours 🙏
The hours of rehearsal it would take for me to pull this off without breaking down in sobs is unimaginable at this point. I began this video knowing full good and well the first half of the story. But the moment they began with the little girls' and their mother's visual reenactment, the father in me couldn't stop sobbing.
@@ericpatterson6031 Yes, he's one of these actors you can rely on to put on a magnificent performance like that...Except that, like you, I believe he wasn't acting....
And that narrator! God bless him... He's wonderful. I could see him struggling to hold his emotions in check especially towards the end of the story. The kids were wonderful too. I really love this piece.
My Husband passed away five years now . Faith took me to where I am now. Grateful to the mercy and love of God and His Beloved Son Jesus Christ Infinite Atonement that took me to Hope that made all things possible if truly Repent and repent daily through Him all things possible. Hope can heal sorrow souls. It is well It is well with my soul. How I love the Words and Lyrics of this beautiful Rendition.
I was feeling lost. During the Christmas season, there is no one. My mother died this year; there is no one. I am a widow; all aunts, uncles, and cousins have passed. I have no children. I felt so sad. Now, it is well with my soul. This performance pulled me right out of the deep black hole. I am alive, and my work continues. The concert was brilliant. ❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you a thousand times.
Bless you and may you feel his presence continuously in his everlasting arms ❤️
Ah, Stephanie. Not for one moment have you been out of God's sight. I don't know what He has ahead for you. But I can tell you this - you are now and have always, ALWAYS, been significant, precious, and treasured by our Father God. I pray you come to know Him more richly in the days ahead.
You are never alone💖
Stephanie, please try your best to not give into that "alone" feeling. It's only temporary...always a phase and always phases are temporary. You are not ever 100% alone. Jesus does not allow that ever! Talk with others...smile at kind looking little families and children. Go shopping and stroll around but only buy something small for someone else~♡
May God's choicest blessings be yours! Life can feel so lonely at times. I know that God loves you and you have many guardian angels watching over you! Merry Christmas!
57 years ago all four of my immediate family, mother, father, brother and sister died in an air crash. I did not travel with them. This hymn is my favourite, eloquently in words and music, expressing the peace I now feel.
Thank you for sharing. ❤ May Christ continue to give you peace. X
May God continue to give you peace as you live without your family for now.
My prayers for you 🙏 ❤️ So very sorry for your tragic loss...
Much strength!
May you always feel them in your life every day wherever you go!!
My husband went to heaven three years ago. He loved this hymn and always had tears rolling down his cheeks, but he did not know the story.

Hugh Bonneville commands an audience with such class and grace.😊.
Thank you, dear Hugh , and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Utah symphony, for sharing this lovely story of love and faith. I pray Almighty God is with all of us. Thank you Jesus.

Thank you so very much! God Bless you! ❤
With tears in my old eyes God is in control.
My uncle is leaving soon to be with Jesus forever. My sister just sang this song to him by his beside in the hospital. This hymn has soothed many a grieving soul over the years. It speaks for our hurting hearts when we have no words.
Sharing your sadness...

Dave God bless you , I pray that this past year has been a good one for you, a time of healing. ❤

May God continue to bless you with peace, in the loss of your daughter.
James, may the Peace of the Lord be with you and yours. Tara is undoubtedly looking over you.
Bless you sweetie.

We know we shall be together again after the resurrection if we have Jesus in our hearts. What a family reunion that will be!

Amen
My 2 year old grandson was abducted in 2006 days later his mom my daughter passed away. This song has given me much faith and strength knowing the faith this man had. Everytime I hear this I’m brought to tears. The words are very powerful and restores my strength and faith to continue on and never give up hope my grandson will be recovered.
May God give you strength and some measure of comfort. You grief I cannot even imagine.
I pray your grandson will be reunited with you. Your faith is beautiful.
I pray this as well. He is 18 now, so I pray soon he matures enough to start questioning and searching on his own. The simple genealogy DNA tests are reuniting families again and again, many who were never even aware they had been abducted. I pray your family becomes one them!
It breaks my heart for you to have to live with not knowing. Thanks to the Savior, that little boy is not entirely lost.
I hope you hold out hope, one day, for a glorious, joyous reunion. This season, and this wonderful hymn, is a reminder that, eventually, all that is wrong in life may be made right through Christ Jesus.
Warm Regards and Best Wishes, Along With Sincerest Condolences for Your Losses,

Amen. Staying connected with others and hearing their stories makes your own burdon lighter, as it lifts you out of your own pain and heaviness, and you realize life is difficult for everyone and you are not alone or picked out alone for a life of difficulty or loneliness.

Ty for sharing your testimony. God bless you and your family
When my second son passed away the night before the song that was planned for church the next morning was this song… one of my favorites.
This is one of the most beautiful & uplifting experiences I have been fortunate enough to witness. After several years of sorrow & feeling empty & alone, I began to feel better & happier than I had felt in years since this summer. Today I happened upon this program w/ Hugh Bonneville as the narrator & the wonderful Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s uplifting voices singing the words to the song.

It must have been an amazing event to witness in person. I wish I could have witnessed it myself. May God bless everyone! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇
I was serving a mission at the time and was there in person too it was wonderful 😊
I don't know how these people are able to hold themselves together emotionally when performing something like this... Incredible arrangement, narration, and delivery. Also, congratulations to the recording technicians (audio and video) who produce these amazing products... no small feat with something this complex.
Horatio Spafford seems like the Job of his time. That poor man, his poor wife, and their poor family. It is amazing to me that he kept the faith. I pray to have an ounce of his faithfulness.
Hugh Bonneville has become my favorite actor!
This brings so much peace to me now in my time of troubles.. thank you Lord ... I am feeling so lost. The Lord is my strength I will not give up
I’m just feeling myself falling into panic & depression. So much has changed in my life & I know others are suffering too. If it were not for Jesus.. smh..🙏🏻😣
Me too..prayers
Wow, that touched me. I never knew there was a story behind the hymn. Thanks to everyone for bringing that to me and God bless you all. 🙏 🙏🙏
I needed this today! How the world has needed this message since it was performed in December of 2019. God bless you Hugh Bonneville, The Tabernacle Choir, and everyone suffering in the world today.
God bless you sister.
I am a firm believer in God and His plan, that He loves each one of us...and it is well with my soul
Hugh Bonneville was surely meant to bring this message to us all, especially now.
Hugh Bonneville is so gifted!
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
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!
My absolute favorite verse in this song. This is where I always lose it.
It has always been my favorite verse as well, for without the redemptive work of Christ completed on the cross, I would never be able to say "it is well with my soul"!
AMEN & AMEN ! Even so, Come, Lord Jesus ! =|
May the lives we live bear witness to his regenerative work.
Yes!! Amen!! The best part....
My four children sang this at my sister’s funeral. It is a wonderful song.
This was my grandma’s favorite song and today it’s mine as well. Even with Alzheimer’s disease she’d remembered and sang this for me. May God bless us all!
This was my Mom’s favorite hymn. She’s been gone 6 years now . Now it’s my favorite hymn.
This was just powerful and beautiful. Yes, it is well with my soul.
This song has grounded me through many storms of life. I am so thankful for a heritage of faith that we have in Christ and in the Body of Christ, those who believe in Him. There is no peace, except in Christ. Life is hard. He is faithful.
Unbelievable how many emotions you can go through in 16 minutes. This story was beautifully narrated, I teared up several times
Thank You BBC. My favorite song because I lost my Public Service job in Papua New Guinea but was offered another job as Deputy High Commissioner for Papua New Guinea in London from 1996-1999, where my Four Children were given their Confirmation as Children of God at the St. Anne's Lutheran Church in London by a German Pastor Smeizh.

Even though it's not Christmas myself was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer two years ago I was lost not even to be in church now I go every Sunday and listen to this song every night the word keep me out of the dark and keep me going
I’m very sorry to hear that bro..do you still go to church ?
I pray you receive healing in Jesus name.
I, a grown man, wants to cry every time this song is sung. Because I remember the inspiration for it. As you say here. A man who lost his family was inspired to write it. Very moving song. Very emotional.
I'm an atheist, and heck, even I'm moved to become a Christian when I hear this song!
I cry like a baby, and I'm agnostic.
So so heart moving. Truth! Live By the love & light we have known. When the darkness returns, again set your course by the Light of Christ who shines in each of Us, His follower. We are each to care for our rose of Sharon (Song of Solomon) This display of family’s love continuing that this Faith is a testimony to Us all, in prose, “It is well, it is well, with my soul!” Beautiful❤
It is REALLY well with my soul. Thank you for reminding us that sorrow is the road to the story of love, hope and redemption en-fleshed in Jesus at Bethlehem.
From India.
I have heard this historical hymn many times and sang in the Egmore Wesley Church Choir. Your narration brought the tears in my eyes. I listened to the song again and again. Bring out such stories of other popular songs also. I am 70 years old. Pray for my family and my ministry. We help the poor children to go to school from remote villages. At present 192 students are studying in five hostels.
May the Lord bless you. Our hope is in Jesus Christ. What a blessing you are to so many.
Bless you for your good work.
The Lord is surely your strength and provider🙏😇
God! What a flurry of emotions... I couldn't hold back my tears as I listened to the narrator. I didn't even know whether my tears are for the story or the song. I remembered my Dad today and how we lost him. But like this faithful family, I say it's well with my soul
It's one of those rare moments when truly inspiring words spawned from tragic events were given a truly inspiring melody. Even unbelievers who sing this song in church start to cry! The only time that ever happened again was with the theme song to Titanic, people had the same emotional reaction.
The first time my pastor taught us about Horatio Spafford, I lost it. As a mother to three daughters, the idea of continuing on after something like that seems truly insurmountable. I'm incredibly faithful in my loving God...but I'll admit, that would test it so greatly. More than anything else I could go through. I pray constantly that I will never find myself in a situation like this.
We all have the freedom to make choices of all sort as we go though our days. My choice is to follow Jesus Christ all the day of my life, asking that he guide me and teach me the best pathway for my life, that he keep a watch over me, protect from evil and grant me His peace. And, that He help me become an instrument through which His Will becomes evident in the things that I think, do and say.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Thank you God for Your Love, Unity and most of all The Miracle at Christmas - Jesus.
a special BRAVO to Hugh Bonneville
What a great narrator.
You could feel the emotion and love in his story telling.
Bravo sir and Thank You

We all need hope in this time. My God is. The only hope
I imagined one day when I was already in Heaven. We will continue to praise the name of the Lord Jesus every day and the joyful faces will continue to color our lives. No more sickness, no more sin, only glorifying the name of the Lord Jesus.
Thanks for this vids! Im so excited to the resf of life. Jesus Bless Us..
Thank you, thank you, Mr. Bonneville and so many others for infusing the season with the glory of Hope through Him who lights the world!
Amen!
What a wonderful story of a families faith saving them from pain and giving them the strength and courage to do so much to for others. That it continues today is a a testament to what faith can do, so uplifting and inspiring.
I was born and raised in Southern Gospel music just like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash . We knew all of the same friends in the industry . But I can say , I have never heard such a choir as '' The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square ! ''.
A beautiful story..we all need to give love and have faith...and goodwill to our fellow man.
Goodwill all year Susan not just at Christmas
Mainly to Receive His Love (God is Love), not looking to our failures or strengths, but accepting all His Love for us
Love you all viewers and I hope to see you all in heaven ♥️!! God bless you.
Amen !!! It is well with my soul. Thank YOU LORD.
God bless everyone who put this fantastic production together. Lovely! Heart warming!
It blessed my soul, gave me renewed hope.
Thank you, Jesus.
It is well with my soul
When my mom died I picked this Hymn for my mother's funeral. It was a great comfort to my dad & I as He & I put our Faith in joining her Soul in the future Mansion prepared for them in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Really really move my heart and soul...❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful,soul shaking presenting.... AMEN AND AMEN.
We can all learn from this inspirational true story when we are confronted with hard ships and heartache.
I’ve not cried this much for a very very long time 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️🎅🎅🎅👏🏼🙏🏼
I am so blessed to have been able to learn the history of this song. My sister sings this song when things are not going well, also when things are brighter. She, as well as I, Take comfort in knowing that whatever comes our way. 'It is well, it is well with my soul.'🎼
Thank you Hugh Bonneville for this fantastic and very special video and thank God that you did share this message.
Father GOD in Heaven... You know the Reason for Everything. "It is Well with My Soul." My life is in Your Hands. Amen.
Beautiful. Thank you Dearest Jesus.
I have never knew this story. I was intrigued by Hugh's performance in downton abbey so I came on here. Amazed
Beautiful. God Bless you all. x
Hugh Bonneville is amazing! I could listen to him tell stories forever!
Wow. I’m a staunch atheist but I grew up singing these hymns & to hear that massive choir in real life must’ve been incredible.
What a stellar performance! Thankfully, I had tissues nearby. Thank you to Mr. Bonneville for a fantastic narration, to the Choir for their Heavenly voices, and those in the cast. God bless you all!
Watching from SW Georgia this nearly six months of quarantine. May the encouraging words of this song give us hope and peace through this troublesome time in all of our lives. May God Bless Us All❤
Glad you are taking strength from this song, and the production. I am sure that would touch those who were involved in making it. The hymn seems to be one of those that will stand out to eternity, for its origin, and for its ability to strengthen believers, and lead them to do more than they thought possible in their own strength.
Thank God for Jesus whose life has blessed the world through people like these 🙏🏼
I’ve been feeling down recently. I turned this on for a completely unrelated reason, but hearing it a few time, “it is well with my soul” is clearly something I needed to hear.
This was beautiful. I'm not going to lie, I cried.
Me too!
What a beautiful way to receive a Blessing! Sincere thanks to all the persons involved to make this possible for all of us. May God keep hearing your soul reaching out to HIM in prayer saying: “IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL”. This is a lesson and Blessing for a lifetime inspired from above.
Pray - hope can heal a wounded world.
The Blessed Hope can....
Joanne Park yeah it working so well is t it 🤔🤣🤣
Hugh Bonneville, as were all of them was absolutely outstanding - what an anointed, Spirit-filled incredible performance - I will share everywhere - please share.
A great indication that the peace of God that passes all understanding was and continues for all of us.
Wow. I'd heard the story of "It is well with my soul" many times, but never narrated and acted like that. Well done to everyone who put this together!
This story fills me with shame for spending one selfish moment complaining about my life which has been blessed beyond measure.
Thank you for the inspiration at this terrible time in history. Jesus is here...
How are you doing 😊😊
"...God's love does shines in the darkness." Thank you God.
This was my late Mom's favorite hymn.
Being a Downton Abbey fan, Hugh Bonneville showed up in my TH-cam recommendation videos. What a beautiful, inspiring and moving performance! It Is Well is one of my favorite songs. Merry Christmas everyone! God's blessings to you and yours 🙏
This is a fantastic Christmas story/show. Well done 👍
The hours of rehearsal it would take for me to pull this off without breaking down in sobs is unimaginable at this point. I began this video knowing full good and well the first half of the story. But the moment they began with the little girls' and their mother's visual reenactment, the father in me couldn't stop sobbing.
I don't cry very easily, but when that scene came up, couldn't hold back the tears.
Merry Christmas in October to all who are still watching this during quarantine!
How are you doing 😊😊😊
Thanks
Beautiful. To have faith when all hope is gone, that is faith.
What a wonderful performance. I was in tears and joy but in the end we are all here for a purpose. I pray we all search and find that purpose. Peace
Bonneville was brilliant. That emotion on his face at the end was so genuine. Awesome!
PapaKryptoss the only peace we will find in this life, is the peace the Saviour offers us.
@@ericpatterson6031 Yes, he's one of these actors you can rely on to put on a magnificent performance like that...Except that, like you, I believe he wasn't acting....
And that narrator! God bless him... He's wonderful. I could see him struggling to hold his emotions in check especially towards the end of the story. The kids were wonderful too. I really love this piece.
Amen
Those who gave a thumbs down to this, need our prayers.
amen.
One of my mothers favorite hymns.
