370 - 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; Count your many blessings — see what God has done.

2.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?  Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?  Count your many blessings — ev’ry doubt will fly, And you will be singing as the days go by.

Count your blessings — name them one by one; Count your blessings see what God hath done; Count your blessings — name them one by one; Count your many blessings — see what God has done

3.

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 home on high.

Count your blessings — name them one by one; Count your blessings see what God hath done; Count your blessings — name them one by one; Count your many blessings — see what God has done

4.

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.

Count your blessings — name them one by one; Count your blessings see what God hath done; Count your blessings — name them one by one; Count your many blessings — see what God has done
