HYMN Lyrics Text: When Upon Life’s Billows

1. 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.

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 home on high.

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 giveth you to your

journey’s end.
