I just checked, the original hymn has 3 verses. In my hymn book, we have 7 verses. The best verse, is obviously the one Elvis sings! :) I too like the 4th and 5th verses:
4/ When through deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o'erflow, For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee X2
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
5/ When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply. The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume X2
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
