I continually correct the last word of the third line of the lyrics. The original manuscript is referenced and available online. Why must this correction be made over and over? Please help keep the integrity of the article and respect the hymn and it's author by not posting the wrong lyrics. 24.23.82.3 ( talk) 05:52, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Independent of the above discussion, but still on the subject of lyrics, I would propose that someone add Spafford's two stanzas on the back of the original manuscript to the article. I just added a link to the LOC images in higher resolution, including the verses on the back. Frank Rabinovitch ( talk) 15:34, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
As far back as February 2008, this article starts off citing the death of the son, https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=It_Is_Well_with_My_Soul&diff=189945435&oldid=28420651 Then, in October 2012 [ who edits sporadically] comes along and removes it with no explanation, https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=It_Is_Well_with_My_Soul&diff=517745052&oldid=513404271 Does anyone have any information on this son and his death? There is mention of another son who died much later - is there any confusion between the two and if so, is the editor who removed the information correct?

Hi Rui
Thanks for getting in touch.
The reason I changed the article is that I decided to look up the original records of the Spafford family on the Ancestry website (I was doing a talk which drew on the Spafford's tragic tale and Mr Spafford's great hymn). I was surprised to find that the truth was not exactly as stated in the original article. The truth is perhaps even sadder and is as I explained in the amended article.
You will find a family tree that features the documents I located here: http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/15966720/person/328092630?ssrc= You would actually need to be a member of the site to access it though.
A summary of the family with birth and death dates is here:
Family Members Parents Horatio Gates Spafford 1778 – 1832
Elizabeth Clark Hewett 1790 – 1840
Show siblings Spouse
Anna Larsen 1842 – 1923
Children Anna "Annie" Spafford 1862 – 1873
Margaret Lee "Maggie" Spafford
1864 – 1873
Elizabeth "Bessie Spafford
1868 – 1873
Tanetta Spafford
1871 – 1873
Horatio Gates Spafford 1876 – 1880
Bertha H. Spafford 1878 –
Grace Spafford 1881 -
I hope this helps to clarify the amendment to the article.

It has been nearly two weeks waiting for those who opposed to show that they are different songs so I will conclude there is little continued opposition.

Should we create an Article or a section in this article, about On a Hymnsong of Phillip Bliss since that is the American translated version of It Is well Quile78 ( talk) 06:24, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
I don't understand the removal of the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Narrative. It explains the story of the song's origin much better than the article. The Mormon Tabernacle version is also the traditional rendering of the song. The Hillsong version is notable because it got to #87 on the Australian Pop Chart? The Hillsong version is barely recognizable as the song Spafford wrote. Scottca075 ( talk) 05:45, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
