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. |
|
Refrain |
|
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. |
|
Refrain |
|
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. |
|
Refrain |
|
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. |
|
Refrain |
