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.
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.
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.
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 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 Lord 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.

When my mother was very sick, stricken with stroke and all my friends where nowhere to be found, this song gave me courage and gave me hope beyond this world..She finally rested from the pain but full of smile and joy.
The song has been my reason for living and find hope in Jesus.

Just yesterday amid the so great a confliict I was getting tired of talking to God, my husband opened my eyes to see the great and awesome blessings, mercy, miracles, deliverance, mighty hands upon our lives just before now... Soon I forgot all my worries, asked for forgiveness for being ungrateful and started praising Him... Let's praise/thank God more dan we ask of Him because He dwells in the praises of His people.....Philippians 1:6.

This appears to be my favorite hymn. If I can put in one word what God has done and still is doing in my life, it will be "awesome". Nothing is worth to pay for his kind gestures. But to say thank you. Because if we try to pay Him for everything, we will stay indebted to Him forever. Though we are indebted to God forever!

I love this hymn. Any time I sing it, it reminds me and indeed every Christian that no matter what one passes or one is passing through, your blessing from God is constantly available. just Count them, they are innumerable!!!!! MY LORD IS GREAT!

This song lifted my spirit this morning when we sang it in church. It's very real. No matter the conflicts we encounter, if we take time to count our blessing, it would be clear the blessing of God upon our lives.

It's been on my mind this morning. I have it in my akan hymnal just wanted to check online for the English version. God is so good indeed. He is the hope of life. Focus on Him and you will be saved.

My 17 yr old grandson died in a car accident in August of 2012. Two weeks after the accident I started humming this song. The odd thing about it was my daughter was humming the song at the same time even though we live 20 miles from each other. God is still good and still continues to Bless us even though we lost one of the most precious person in this life. We continue to count our Blessings. It helps us to get through each day.
