I need to get hold of a copy of the words and music of "Count your many blessings, name them one by one" or be pointed in the direction of which book it may be in - requested for a funeral.

If anyone could help, a scanned copy to me by e-mail would be fantastic!

Many thanks everyone!

A Google for "Count your blessings" "name them one by one" produced many sites including http://members.tripod.com/~Synergy_2/lyrics/cntbless.html
I hope that helps.

Here's the words, I'll get the music to you within a day or so (unless someone has a copy already to send?).

When upon 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 done.

Chorus:
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.

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.

When you look at others With their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised You His wealth untold.
Count your many blessings Money cannot buy,
Your reward in heaven Nor your home on high.

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.

Correction.

The last line of the refrain should be:

and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
