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

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

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

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

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

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done
