        When you look at others                                 A slave redeemed from death and sin,

        With their lands and gold,
        Think that Christ has promised                          A brand plucked from eternal fire,
        You His wealth untold;                                  How shall I equal triumphs raise,

                                                                Father, which Thou to me hast showed?
        Chorus                                                  That I, a child of wrath and hell,
        Count your blessings
        Name them one by one;                                   I should be called a child of God,
        Count your blessings                                    Should know, should feel my sins forgiven,
                                                                Blest with this antepast of heaven!  2/5

        Name them one by one;                                   And shall I slight my father's love?
        Count your many blessings                               Or basely fear his gifts to own?
        See what God hath done.    3/4                          Unmindful of his favours prove?

        Verse 4                                                 Shall I, the hallowed cross to shun,
        So amid the conflict                                    Refuse his righteousness to impart,
        Whether great or small,                                 By hiding it within my heart?  3/5
        Do not be discouraged
        God is over all;                                        Verse 4
        Count your many blessings                               Outcasts of men, to you I call,
        Angels will attend, Help and comfort give you To        Harlots, and publicans, and thieves!
        your journey's end.                                     He spreads his arms to embrace you all;

        Chorus                                                  Sinners alone his grace receives :
        Count your blessings                                    No need of him the righteous have;
                                                                He came the lost to seek and save.   4/5
