Businessman Horatio Spafford wrote this hymn after losing most of his wealth, his son in the Chicago Fire, and his four daughters in a shipwreck: It Is Well with My Soul (1876), sung by Acapeldridge (in four-part harmony with himself).

This is a wonderful rendition of one of my favorites. I love harmony singing, and this is so extraordinary.
The guy is singing in harmony with himself–but we can’t complain about using technology to glorify God.
What a powerful hymn this is! Praise God for uplifting Mr. Spafford during those hard times!
For me, literally unimaginable hard times…
Indeed. God is provider of all good things. The fact that others use the same technology for sinful purposes does not preclude the use for the glory of our God.
Well, here we are on our computers, aren’t we?
Yes, that’s true, Erlene!
Bravo!
