Count Your Blessings

C/*E by Johnson Oatman jr (text), Edwin O Excell (music) CH786

Verse 1
C                                Dm   
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,
G                                 C
When you are discourage, thinking all is lost,
                                    Dm
Count your many blessings-name them one by one,
G                                           C
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Verse 2
C                                  Dm
When you look at others with their lands of gold,
G                                      C
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
                                 Dm
Count your many blessings' money cannot buy
G                                      C
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.
Verse 3
C                             Dm
So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
G                             C
Do not be discouraged; God is over all.
                                  Dm
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
G                                           C
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
Chorus
C                               Dm
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
                               C
Count your blessings, see what God hath done.
           Dm         G                G7
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
C                                       G7   C
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
