This is an arrangement of the 19th-century hymn by Philip Bliss, with words by Horatio Spafford following several personal tragedies. Wilberg keeps the first two verses in unison, before allowing fuller textures to take over. The choir is accompanied throughout, and two upward modulations lead to a triumphant close.
