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.

Are you ever burdened with a 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.
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.

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.

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.
