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.
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.
2
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.
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.
3
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.
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.
4
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.
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.

God has given us Greatest Blessings and He will always give us His Greatest Blessings

It is a song of consolation. It gives me joy when faced with difficulty that seems God is not awake. Verse 3 is in line with Psalm 37:1-2. This hymn is really comforting broken hearted.

It's quite an inspiration to me, whenever I see it not coming the way I expected, I remember that there's wealth untold that's coming my way. Hallelujah.

Thank You Lord for everything. With this hymn all my worries and thinking faded away. God is forever Good. I will forever dwell in the house of the Lord.

Come to think about it, can anyone living truly count their blessings in God?
We may talk of the countless times He delivered us from near death, supper naturally provided for us, spoke in our defense even in our absence, fought our battles, avenge our adversaries etc. But how can we quantify the shame He brought to Himself by handing on the cross as penalty for our sins?

The song that always reminds to look upon God, when the tempest is raging... Quite a blessing.
