1. THE LORD'S MY SHEPHERD Count your many blessings, name them
one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord
has done.

Refrain:
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want Count your blessings, see what God has done!
He makes me down to lie Count your blessings, name them one by one,
In pastures green; He leadeth me And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
The quiet waters by.
Are you ever burdened with a load of
My soul He doth restore again; care?
And me to walk doth make Does the cross seem heavy you are
Within the paths of righteousness, called to bear?
E'en for His own Name's sake. Count your many blessings, every doubt
will fly,
Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, And you will keep singing as the days
Yet will I fear no ill; go by.
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
And staff my comfort still. When you look at others with their
lands and gold,
My table Thou hast furnished Think that Christ has promised you His
In presence of my foes; wealth untold;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint, Count your many blessings—money
And my cup overflows. cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home
Goodness and mercy all my life on high.
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house for evermore So, amid the conflict whether great or
My dwelling place shall be. small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
2. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS Count your many blessings, angels will
When upon life’s billows you are tem- attend,
pest-tossed, Help and comfort give you to your
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, journey’s end.

We’ve no less days to sing God’s

Perfect submission, perfect delight, 7. SHOWERS OF BLESSING
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; There shall be showers of blessing:
Angels descending bring from above This is the promise of love;
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Perfect submission, all is at rest; Refrain:
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above, Showers of blessing, Showers of
Filled with his goodness, lost in his love. blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling, But
for the showers we plead.

6. ROCK OF AGES There shall be showers of blessing,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Precious reviving again;
Let me hide myself in Thee; Over the hills and the valleys, Sound
Let the water and the blood, of abundance of rain.
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure; There shall be showers of blessing;
Save from wrath and make me pure. Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing, Come,
Not the labor of my hands and now honor Thy Word.
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know, There shall be showers of blessing:
Could my tears forever flow, Oh, that today they might fall,
All for sin could not atone; Now as to God we’re confessing, Now
Thou must save, and Thou alone. as on Jesus we call!

Nothing in my hand I bring, There shall be showers of blessing, If
Simply to the cross I cling; we but trust and obey;
Naked, come to Thee for dress; There shall be seasons refreshing, If
Helpless look to Thee for grace; we let God have His way.
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne, 8. MUST I GO, AND EMPTY-HANDED
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, “Must I go, and empty-handed,”
Let me hide myself in Thee. Thus my dear Redeemer meet?


4

Not one day of service give Him, That bright stars may be mine in the
Lay no trophy at His feet? glorious day
Refrain: When his praise like the sea billow rolls.
“Must I go, and empty-handed?”
Must I meet my Savior so? Oh, what joy it will be when his face I
Not one soul with which to greet Him, behold
Must I empty-handed go? Living gems at his feet to lay down
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold
Not at death I shrink or falter, Should there be any stars in my crown.
For my Savior saves me now;
But to meet Him empty-handed, 10. O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST
Thought of that now clouds my brow. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Oh, the years in sinning wasted, Our shelter from the stormy blast,
Could I but recall them now, And our eternal home.
I would give them to my Savior,
To His will I’d gladly bow. Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Oh, ye saints, arouse, be earnest, Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
Up and work while yet ’tis day; And our defense is sure.
Ere the night of death o’ertake thee,
Strive for souls while still you may. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
9. WILL THERE BE ANY STARS? From everlasting Thou art God,
I am thinking today of that beautiful land To endless years the same.
I shall reach when the sun goeth down
When through wonderful grace by my A thousand ages in Thy sight
Saviour I stand Are like an evening gone;
Will there be any stars in my crown. Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Will there be any stars, any stars in my
crown Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
When at evening the sun goeth down Bears all its sons away;
When I wake with the blest in those They fly, forgotten, as a dream
mansions of rest Dies at the op’ning day.
Will there be any stars in my crown.
O God, our help in ages past,
In the strength of the Lord let me labor Our hope for years to come,
and pray Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
Let me watch as a winner of souls And our eternal home.
