Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.745
First Line: When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed
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 keep singing as the days go by.
3 When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold ;
Count your many blessings; wealth
can never buy [home on high.
Your reward in heaven, nor your
4 So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all ;
Count your many blessings, angels
will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
