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.

In life there are times when we are low and feel as though everything is against us, and we easily forget all the good things (blessings) the Lord has showered on us in the past and continues to. We tend to focus on what we don't have or wish we had, instead of what we already have. I like this hymn because it draws our attention to all the things we ought to be thankful for (many of them money cannot buy) - and indeed they are numerous.
