I’ll Count My Blessings

I lift my heart to­day in praise

To Him who loves me so

Whose mer­cy crown­eth all my days

And makes my cup o’er­flow.

O have I loved Him as I should

For all His bless­ings free?

Praise God who giv­eth naught but good

For He is good to me!

I’ll count my bless­ings—

Count them o’er and o’er—

I’ll tell my Fa­ther’s good­ness—

I will love Him more

I’ll count my bless­ings

boun­ti­ful and free—

Yet I can nev­er count them all—

So good is God to me!

I thank Him for un­cloud­ed skies—

For love be­yond my ken—

That when my path in sha­dow lies

The sun­shine comes again.

I thank Him for the hopes ful­filled—

For ev­ery an­swered plea

That though life was not all I willed

My God is good to me!

I go to meet an­oth­er year

With faith no doubt can dim

God reign­eth

and I will not fear

But trust my way with Him.

Then if that way be bright or dark

Let peace un­shak­en be!

And let me

like the soar­ing lark

Sing God is good to me!
