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 keep singing as the days go by. || Count || / When you look at others with their lands and gold, / Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold; / Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy / Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high. || Count || / So, amid the conflict whether great or small, / Do not be disheartened, God is over all; / Count your many blessings, angels will attend, / Help and comfort give you to your journey's end. || Count ||
