Refrain: Count on me, count on me, For loving-hearted service glad and free; Yes, count on me, count on me, O blessed Saviour, count on me. 2 I count on Thee, dear Master for cleansing in Thy blood, For constant streams of blessing, a never-failing flood; To ever-new fruition I see Thy mercies bud, O blessed Saviour, count on me. [Refrain] 3 Now gird me for the battle when evil pow’rs oppose, And give me faith and courage to conquer o’er Thy foes; I pledge Thee my allegiance, my soul no other knows, O blessed Saviour, count on me. [Refrain] 4 I’ll bear another’s burden along a lonely way, Or teach that burden-bearer with confidence to pray; In service ever loyal at home or far away, O blessed Saviour, count on me.
