COMPTE LES BIENFAITS

Compte les bienfaits de Dieu,
Mets-les tous devant tes yeux,
Tu verras, en adorant,
Combien le nombre en est grand.

1. Quand le vol de la tempête
Vient assombrir ton ciel bleu,
Au lieu de baisser la tête,
Compte les bienfaits de Dieu.

2. Quand sur la route glissante,
Tu chancelles sous ta croix,
Pense à cette main puissante
Qui t’a béni tant de fois.

3. Si tu perds dans le voyage
Plus d’un cher et doux trésor,
Pense au divin héritage
Qui, là-haut, te reste encor.

4. Bénis donc, bénis sans cesse
Ce Père qui, chaque jour,
Répand sur toi la richesse
De Son merveilleux amour.
 

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS 

Count your blessings, name them one by one;
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one;
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

1. 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.

2. 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 keep singing as the days go by.

3. When you look at other with their land and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings, wealth can never buy,
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

4. So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
