1. When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,<br>
+
*Poet: [[Johnson Oatman, Jr.]] (1856–1922)
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,<br>
 
Count your many blessings; name them one by one,<br>
 
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
 
 
 
[Chorus]<br>
 
Count your blessings;<br>
 
Name them one by one.<br>
 
Count your blessings;<br>
 
See what God hath done.<br>
 
Count your blessings;<br>
 
Name them one by one.<br>
 
Count your many blessings;<br>
 
See what God hath done.
 
 
 
2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?<br>
 
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?<br>
 
Count your many blessings; ev’ry doubt will fly,<br>
 
And you will be singing as the days go by.
 
 
 
3. When you look at others with their lands and gold,<br>
 
Think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold.<br>
 
Count your many blessings; money cannot buy<br>
 
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.
 
 
 
4. So amid the conflict, whether great or small,<br>
 
Do not be discouraged; God is over all.<br>
 
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,<br>
 
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
