Eb Bb
When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed
Bb7 Eb
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost
Bb
Count your many blessings; name them one by one
Bb7 Eb Bb7 Eb
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done
Eb Bb
Count your blessings; name them one by one
Bb7 Eb
Count your blessings; see what God hath done
Ab Bb7
Count your blessings; name them one by one
Eb Ab Bb Bb7 Eb
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.
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.
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.
