Count Your Blessings

Verse 1
When upon life’s bil­lows
You are tem­pest tossed, (Isa. 54:11)
When you are dis­cour­aged,
Thinking all is lost,
Count your ma­ny bless­ings,
Name them one by one, (Ps. 103:2)
And it will sur­prise you
What the Lord hath done.

Chorus
Count your bless­ings,
Name them one by one, (Ps. 103:2)
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.

Verse 2
Are you ever bur­dened
With a load of care?
Does the cross seem hea­vy
You are called to bear? (Matt. 10:38, Matt. 16:24, Mark 8:34, Mark 10:21, Luke 9:23)
Count your ma­ny bless­ings,
Every doubt will fly,
And you will keep sing­ing
As the days go by.

Verse 3
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.

Verse 4
So, amid the con­flict
Whether great or small,
Do not be dis­heart­ened,
God is ov­er all; (Eph. 4:6)
Count your ma­ny bless­ings,
Angels will at­tend, (Ps. 91:11)
Help and com­fort give you
To your jour­ney’s end.
