COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
Text:  Johnson Oatman, Jr.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.


DAY BY DAY
Text:  Caroline V. Sandell-Berg, translated by Andrew L. Skoog

Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here.
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Ev'ry day the Lord Himself is near me,
With a special mercy for each hour.
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
He Whose name is Counselor and Pow'r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid.
"As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,"
This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then, in ev'ry tribulation,
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith's sweet consolation,
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E'er to take, as from a Father's hand,
One by one, the days, the moments, fleeting,
Till I reach the promised land.
