I have been updating my song database as time affords, and have found this song which I would like to share here.
Count your blessings
Words: Johnson Oatman, Jr., 1987
Music: Edwin O. Excell1:
When up on life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
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 doneChorus:
Count your blessings name them one by one;
Count your blessings see what God hath done;
Count your blessings name them one by one;
Count your many blessings see what God hath done.2:
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.3:
So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged God is over all;
Count your many blessings angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
And in Chinese:
数算主恩
1:
有时遇见苦难如同大波浪,
有时忧愁丧胆几乎要绝望,
若把主的恩典从头数一数,
必能叫你惊讶立时乐欢呼。副歌:
主的恩典样样都要数;
主的恩典都要记清楚;
主的恩典样样都要数;
必能叫你惊讶立时乐欢呼。2:
有时挂念世事如同挑重担
有时背着十架觉着苦难堪
若数主的恩典疑惑即消除
必能叫你快乐立即赞美主。3:
每逢遭遇战争不论大或小
不要丧胆因主早已得胜了;
深知主有恩典必甘愿辅助
安慰引导我们一直见天父。
