One day they ran from the field
Brought the child to his mother
She held his head there on her knees
Died at noon that day she didn't tell anyone
She ran straight to the metal gun
And if anybody asked her
She replied along her way
It is well
It is well
There is peace in my despair
Knowing god will hear my prayer
And I will pray
To the promise that he brings
Even death can have no sting
No power in hell
Where it is well
Made a pair upon him
And he bring me life again
It is well
It is well
There is peace in my despair
Knowing god has heard my prayer
And I will cling
To the promise that he brings
Even death will have no sting
No power in hell
In his presence I will dwell
Where it is well
It is well
There is peace in my despair
Knowing god has heard my prayer
And I will cling
To the promise that he brings
Even death will have no sting
No power in hell
In his presence I will dwell
Where it is well
It is well
