Reed Hymnal: New Songs of the Gospel No. 2 #98 (1905) First Line: Count thy blessings, O my brother Refrain First Line: Count thy blessings, O my brother Lyrics: 1 Count thy blessings, O my brother, When thou’rt tempted to complain Of life’s trials and its sorrow, Of its ever present pain. Refrain: Count thy blessings, O my brother, All thy griefs will lighter grow; All thy cares they will outnumber, And thy skies with light shall glow. 2 Count thy blessings, O my brother, Never doubt thy Father’s love; Tho’ life’s stormy thy way o’ershadow, Still he keeps his watch above. [Refrain] 3 Count thy blessings, O my brother, All the mercies rich and free That doth fill thy days with gladness; O how much God gives to thee. [Refrain] 4 Count thy blessings, O my brother, Think not of the grief and pain; Count thy blessings, O my brother, And thou canst not then complain.
