Count Your Blessings

Tonight I did some volunteer work with some very nice teenagers. Right before they were leaving, I overheard them singing the first verse of the hymn "Count Your Blessings". Some of them were out of tune and they weren't really singing in the same key, but I loved listening to them sing these words:

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.

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.
