When upon life’s billows you are tempesttossed
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost
Count you 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 has done
Count your blessings, name them one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done
Chorus,
Are you ever burdened with a load of care
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear
Count you many blessings, every doubt will fly
And you will be singing as the days go by
Chorus,
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
Chorus,
So amid the conflict, whether great or small
Do not be discouraged, God is over all
Count you many blessings, angels will attend
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end
Chorus,
