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.

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.

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.

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.

My grandmother used to sing this song to us (in Armenian) when we were children. The last time I had heard it was probably around ten. I hummed it to myself for many many years, until I heard it in English one day a year or so ago! It brought back a flood of soothing memories. No matter what our circumstances, we can always find blessings that God has bestowed on us, and be so thankful for them!!

I lost my job last year, and still unemployed, however, when I sing this song which is daily, I know that I have been blessed. I look back at all the blessings God has bestowed on me over the years and I'm so thankful and grateful to the Almighty. I know and believe that the right job will come my way. Thank You Lord for all the wonderful blessings. Amen.

Hmmmm, can't stop playing this song. I remember when my family and I, we were so faithful serving God, then we had nothing, but today we have been lifted. God has highly blessed us. We are now a blessing to people. This song reminds me of those days. As long as you remain faithful serving God He will never neglect you. THANK GOD!!!!

I'm so blessed to be part of a worldwide community of God's people who are counting the blessings of God over their lives even through adversity. I was reminded yesterday that His sufferings are not completed in that He still intercedes for us and shares our sorrows and carries our griefs - this too is a great blessing! Thank you for posting the song, thanks for the uplifting comments from everyone around the world and thank God for this beautiful reminder in song to count our blessings. I love you my brothers and sisters - we'll all meet one day with our glorious Saviour Yeshua! What joy and blessing that will be!

This morning, I received an email from a friend in which he spoke with loving appreciation of his wife. It reminded me that I too have good cause to appreciate the blessings my wife brings, and to "count my blessings". Those few words stirred up memories of singing them in Sunday School some 60 years ago. I could remember the first verse, and the chorus, only fragments of the remainder. How wonderful to be able to find all the words on the internet, and to be reminded of their truth and encouragement. Thank You.

When I look back and see how far the Lord has brought me I always count the blessings and it surprises me what the Lord has done. I will always count the blessings and name them one by one....

Thank you for posting this song. My mother used to sing it often before she passed to the LORD. So, how can I give up Jesus? I must sing this song knowing I shall one day sing it over and over with my mother as we give glory to the King of kings - my Lord Jesus. Oh,my heart swells with joy - again, thank you.

Thank you so much for putting this on the internet:-) It is so cheering and just the refocusing I desperately needed. This beautiful simple song turns my thoughts back to the goodness of God and all He has done! It is one of those songs that remind us that others too have walked with Jesus through difficult times. He is faithful and He is not worried or flustered. He is the answer and will make all things beautiful in His time.

Today is my birthday and this is song of the day for me. I started the morning by counting them all, one by one.
