Count Your Blessings

I came across this hymn recently at a friends wedding, it was sung before we started the evening banquet It spoke to me in that it reminded me to count my blessings, and see how God has been working in my life, even if I feel sometimes that he hasn’t.

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.

Chorus:
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.
