Every Sorrow Was Blessing

Author: H. Framer Smith Hymnal: Radio Songs and Choruses of the Gospel No. 1 #32 (1934) First Line: While counting my blessings o'er one day Refrain First Line: Ev'ry sorrow of Jesus was blessing wrought for me Lyrics: 1 While counting my blessings o’er one day, I followed the path that Jesus trod; His was the thorn-crowned way: Mine one of blessing from God. Chorus: Ev’ry sorrow of Jesus was blessing wrought for me, His the thorns, mine the unfading crown; The pathway that led Him to Calvary Brought blessings, from heaven sent down. Ev’ry burden He carried, for me, alas, was borne That from sin I might ever be free, And as daily I grow, In His grace, this I know: Ev’ry sorrow was blessing for me. 2 And kneeling before the throne of grace, I praise Him for all these blessings mine; His was the Garden place: Father, not my will—but Thine! [Chorus] 3 One day I shall see Him as He is, Nor thorn crown nor Garden agony; Eternal glory His Forever and ever shall be!
