OUR GOD, HE IS ALIVE Stanza 1 There is, beyond the azure blue, A God concealed from human sight; He tinted skies with heavenly hue, And framed the worlds with His great might. Refrain There is a God, He is alive, In Him we live and we survive; From dust our God created man, He is our God, the great I Am.

His business interests were further hit by the economic downturn of 1873, at which time he had pl...

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL Stanza 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.
