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 has done.
Count your blessings
name them one by one
Count your blessings,
See what God has done
Count your blessings name
them one by one
And it will surprise you
what the Lord hath done.
1.Are you ever burdened
with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy
when you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings
every doubt will fly
And you will be singing
as days go by.
2. 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 or
your home on high.
3. So amid and conflict
weather great or small
Do not be discouraged
God is over all,
Count your many blessings,
angels will attend
Help and comfort give
you till your journey's end.
