Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #296 (1976) Topics: Thankfulness First Line: When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed Lyrics: 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. Refrain: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.2 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. [Refrain]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 buyYour reward in Heaven, nor your home on high. [Refrain]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 give you to your journey's end. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed]
