Wo-o-o-o (Count your blessings)
Name them one by one
Wo-o-o (Count your blessings)
See what God has done

When upon life’s billows you are tossed
When you’re down and thinking all is lost
Just count your blessings
Name them one by one
And It will surprise you what the Lord has done

Are you burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy that you bear?
Just count your blessings
Every single doubt will fly
And you will be singing as the days go by

When you see the rich with their gold
Just know what you've got
Is God's wealth untold
Count your blessings; money cannot buy
Your mansion up on high
Or your treasure in heaven

So amid the conflict great or small
Just remember God is over all
And count your blessings
The angels will attend
To help and comfort give you till the journey’s end

Wo-o-o-o (Count your blessings)
Name them one by one
Wo-o-o (Count your blessings)
See what God has done
