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.
[Chorus:]
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 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;
Count your many blessings--see what God 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 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 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;
Count your many blessings--see what God hath done.
