- A great hymn of gratitude! Johnson Oatman Jr wanted to sing like his father, but discovered that he was a better hymn writer than a singer.

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 has done.
[Chorus]
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.
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 give you to your journey’s end.

Okay, I told myself I wasn't going to over comment but I have to give this one a shout out. I have such fond and happy memories sitting by my Grandma in the church she attended in a small little town in North Louisiana. I can still hear her sweet voice and her precious hands clapping along with this hymn. I have struggled in my life with feelings of sadness as others had so much more than me but I can say with confidence that as I thanked God Almighty for what I have been blessed with in this life, those sad feeling would melt away. Gratefulness is truly the best medicine to the great sadness that we are sometimes bombarded with. Thanks again for telling us how this blessed hymn came to be. God bless!
AMEN
So true

Love this song so much. From Karbi Anglong District, Assam, India.
I am so glad to find your channel - You are after my own heart I love all hymns
This song puts my problems in the proper perspective
Thanks Luke. God is all your blessings, and there are so many. Numbers cannot be equated to your BLESSINGS.
Sang this a lot when I was young and really enjoyed it. I love hymns and have several hymnals at home and enjoy singing them. God has blessed me more than I ever believe that what I would have and most important ones are family and friends.
❤❤❤

I remember nearly 20 years ago when my younger cousin taught us new lyrics after every verse, this song just came alive to me and I started singing it with greater passion.
