"Count Your Blessings"
Edwin O. Excell 

[Verse I]
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


[Chorus]
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your blessings, see what God has done
Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your many blessings, see what God has done


[Verse II]
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


[Chorus]


[Verse III]
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


[Chorus]


[Verse IV]
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


[Chorus]
