when upon life is billows you are tempest tossed

1.When upon life is 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 seen heavy you are called to bear
Count your many blessings every doubt will fly
And you will keep singing as the days go by
Count your blessings

3.When you look at others with their lands and gold
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold
Count your many blessing wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high
Count your blessings

4.So amid the conflict whether great or small
Do not be disheartened God is over all
Count your many blessing angels will attend
Help and comfort give you to your journey s end
Count your blessings
