When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. Refrain: It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blest assurance control, that Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed his own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll; the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, even so, it is well with my soul.
Notice the last verse where he says "And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight". That's talking about the rapture. Then he says this:
"the clouds be rolled back as a scroll; the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend". The only place in the bible where it talks about the clouds being rolled back as a scroll are in Revelation 6 when the 6th seal is opened.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
The post-trib, pre-wrath rapture doctrine teaches that the rapture happens when the 6th seal is opened. That's why a great multitude appears all the sudden in heaven in Revelation 7:9. The writer of the song understood this which is why he mentioned the clouds being rolled back as a scroll when he was talking about the rapture.
