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
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
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.

I’m so glad to see this documentary about the hymns. I have sheet music which I play and attach the music, along with the history on to a decorative piece of paper.
