1 When the clouds are dark above you,
And your bur­dens grow more press­ing;
When you think God does not love you,
Then re­mem­ber ev­ery bless­ing.

Refrain:
Count them over, all your bless­ings,
All God’s lov­ing hands have giv­en;
Count them oft­en, count your bless­ings,
And this earth will seem a hea­ven.

2 When the oil and meal are ceas­ing,
And the fa­mine is op­press­ing;
When the sor­rows are in­creas­ing,
Then re­mem­ber ev­ery bless­ing. [Refrain]

3 Love is yours that knows no mea­sure,
Boundless grace are you pos­sess­ing;
Wealth be­yond all earth­ly trea­sure,
O, re­mem­ber ev­ery bless­ing. [Refrain]

4 Never doubt God’s love is o’er you,
Never cease His love con­fess­ing;
Every step love goes be­fore you,
O, re­mem­ber ev­ery bless­ing. [Refrain]
