With its dissonant harmonies over a melodic statement of the refrain "It is well," the arrangement's opening phrases portray the grief and anguish that the author Horatio Spafford suffered following the tragic loss of his four daughters on a transatlantic voyage. The rising and falling arpeggios in the left hand are descriptive of the text "when sorrows like sea billows roll." The melody of the first stanza enters peacefully before erupting into a minor key that expresses the torment Satan brings in times of trial and reflects Christ's suffering on the cross. The refrain returns peacefully before a triumphal expression of "the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend."
