Refrain: 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; every doubt will fly, And you will be singing as the days go by. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] Used With Tune: BLESSINGS

Amen. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet First Line: As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs Lyrics: 1 As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs, That sinks exhausted in the summer's chase, So pants my soul for thee, great King of kings, So thirsts to reach thy sacred dwelling place. 2 Lord, thy sure mercies, ever in my sight, My heart shall gladden thro' the tedious day; And 'midst the dark and gloomy shades of night, To thee, my God, I'll tune the grateful lay. 3 Why faint my soul? why doubt Jehovah's aid? Thy God the God of mercy still shall prove; Within his courts thy thanks shall yet be paid; Unquestioned be his faithfulness and love. Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

Beneath the Cross

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Appears in 549 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet First Line: Beneath the cross of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand; The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land. A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From burning of the noontide heat, And burdens of the day. 2 Upon that cross of Jesus, Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me. And from my smitten heart, with tears, Two wonders I confess, The wonders of His glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O cross, Thy shadow, For my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face: Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss, My sinful self, my only shame, My glory, all the cross. Used With Tune: ST. CRISTOPHER

Calm me, my God, and keep me calm, Reclining on Thy breast; Soothe me with holy hymn and psalm, And bid my spirit rest. 2. Yes, keep me calm, tho' loud and rude The sounds my ear that greet, Calm in the closet's solitude, Calm in the bustling street; 3. Calm in the hour of buoyant health, Calm in the hour of pain, Calm in my poverty or wealth, Calm in my loss or gain; 4. Calm in the sufferance of wrong, Like Him who bore my shame; Calm 'mid the threat'ning, taunting throng, Who hate Thy holy name; 5. Calm as the ray of sun or star, Which storms assail in vain, Moving unruffled thro' earth's war, Th' eternal calm to gain. Used With Tune: LAMBETH
