Ask me not to count my bless­ings,
Tell them ov­er one by one;
For they come in show­ers up­on me,
As the rain­drops ’neath the sun.

Refrain

Father, how Thy pre­cious bless­ings
Cheer me on my pil­grim way;
How they light­en ev­ery bur­den,
Brighten ev­ery pass­ing day.

Multitudes of pre­cious bless­ings
Every mo­ment round me spread;
Blessings from my heav’n­ly Fa­ther
Showered down up­on my head.

Refrain

If en­circ­led by the gloom which—
For the mo­ment hides the light,
I’m con­strained to walk in dark­ness,
Jesus hid­den from my sight.

Refrain

Thy rich bless­ings past and pre­sent
Nerve my soul and stay my fears,
Till the dark­ness pass­es from me
And the bless­èd light ap­pears.
