98. Count Thy Blessings

1 Count thy blessings, O my brother,
When thou’rt tempted to complain
Of life’s trials and its sorrow,
Of its ever present pain.

Refrain:
Count thy blessings, O my brother,
All thy griefs will lighter grow;
All thy cares they will outnumber,
And thy skies with light shall glow.

2 Count thy blessings, O my brother,
Never doubt thy Father’s love;
Tho’ life’s stormy thy way o’ershadow,
Still he keeps his watch above. [Refrain]

3 Count thy blessings, O my brother,
All the mercies rich and free
That doth fill thy days with gladness;
O how much God gives to thee. [Refrain]

4 Count thy blessings, O my brother,
Think not of the grief and pain;
Count thy blessings, O my brother,
And thou canst not then complain. [Refrain]
