Count Your Blessings, p.241 - Johnson Oatman, Jr.

  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.
    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.
  2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
    County your many blessings; ev'ry doubt will fly, And you will be singing as the days go by.
    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.
  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.
    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.
  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.
    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.
