Verse 1
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
Refrain
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
Verse 2
Are you ever burdened with load of care
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear
Count your many blessings; ev'ry doubt will fly
And you will be singing as the days go by
Refrain
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
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; money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high
Refrain
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
Verse 4
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
Refrain
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
