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.

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,
And it will sur­prise you
What the Lord 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 keep sing­ing
As the days go by.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

So, amid the con­flict
Whether great or small,
Do not be dis­heart­ened,
God is ov­er all;
Count your ma­ny bless­ings,
Angels will at­tend,
Help and com­fort give you
To your jour­ney’s end.

Refrain
