Count Your Blessings

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed

When you are discouraged

thinking all is lost

Count your many blessings name them one by one

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings

name them one by one;

Count your blessings

see what God hath done;

Count your blessings

name them one by one

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings

every doubt will fly

And you will be singing as the days go by.

When you look at others with their lands and gold

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold.

Count your many blessings

money cannot buy

Your reward in heaven

nor your Lord on high.

So amid the conflict

whether great or small

Do not be discouraged

God is over all;

Count your many blessings

angels will attend

Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
