The hymn, “It Is Well With My Soul” (Horatio Spafford, Phillip Paul Bliss, 1876) was inspired by the sinking of the French ocean liner Ville du Havre in 1873. Bliss, who wrote the music, was killed in a train wreck shortly afterwards. Spafford, a businessman who lost his family in the sinking, later moved to Jerusalem to become a missionary.”
