Count Your Blessings
Tune: Hymn, public domain
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;
Count your many blessings,
see what God has done.

The Gospel is for all.
