When Upon Life's Billows

Author: Johnson Oatman Jr., 1856-1922 Appears in 268 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 136 First Line: When upon life's billows you are tempest-toss'd Refrain First Line: Count your blessings Lyrics: 1 When upon life's billows you are tempest-toss'd, 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. Refrain: Count your blessings, name them one by one; count your blessings, see what God has done! Count your blessings, name them one by one; and it will surprise you what the Lord has done. 2 Are you ever burden'd 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 keep 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, wealth can never buy your reward in heaven, nor your home on high. [Refrain] 4 So, amid the conflict, whether great or small, do not be dishearten'd, God is over all; count your many blessings, angels will attend, help and comfort give you to your journey's end. [Refrain] Topics: Hope, Comfort; Struggle, Faith Used With Tune: [When upon life's billows you are tempest-toss'd]

Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song

Meter: Irregular Appears in 95 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 136 Lyrics: 1 Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song; The joy of my heart and the boast of my tongue: Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last, Hath won my affections, and bound my soul fast. 2 Without thy free mercy I could not live here; Sin soon would reduce me to utter despair: But, thro' thy free goodness, my spirits revive, And he that first made me, still keeps me alive. 3 Whene'er I mistake, thy kind mercy begins To melt me and then I can mourn for my sins; And, led by the Spirit to Jesus's blood, My sorrows are dry'd and my strength is renew'd. 4 Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart; Dissolv'd by thy sun-shine, I fall to the ground And weep to the praise of the mercy I found. 5 Thy mercy is endless, most tender and free; No sinner need doubt, since 'tis given to me; No merit will buy it, nor fears stop its course; Good works are the fruits of its freeness and force. 6 Thy mercy in Jesus exempts me from hell; Its glories I'll sing, and its wonders I'll tell; 'Twas Jesus my friend when he hung on the tree, That open'd the channel of mercy for me. 7 Great Father of mercies, thy goodness I own, And covenant love of thy crucified Son; All praise to the Spirit whose witness divine Seals mercy and pardon, and righteousness MINE.
Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song

O happy soul! that lives on high

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 136 Lyrics: O happy soul that lives on high While men lie grov'lling here His hopes are fixed above the sky, And faith forbids his fear. His conscience knows no secret stings, While peace and joy combine To form a life whose holy springs Are hidden and divine. He waits in secret on his God, His God in secret sees; Let earth be all in arms abroad, He dwells in heav'nly peace. His pleasures rise from things unseen, Beyond this world and time; Where neither eyes nor ears have been, Nor thoughts of sinners climb. He wants no pomp nor royal throne To raise his figure here; Content and pleased to live unknown, Till Christ, his life, appear. He looks to heav'n's eternal hill To meet that glorious day; But patient waits his Savior's will To fetch his soul away. Topics: Works and grace; Thunder and storm; Creation and Providence; Grace and providence; Providence and creation; God mercy and truth; Mercies and truth of God; Perfections of God; Israel saved from Egypt, and brought to Canaan; Mercies everlasting
