Count them one by one

Perhaps we have not counted
All our blessings one by one;
Perhaps we have not bothered
To remember whence they come;

And maybe we have taken
Just for granted all the things
That the good Lord has created
And the gifts that nature brings.

The autumn hills in glory robed,
A golden field of grain,
A sunset’s dazzling splendor
Or the Milky Way’s great plain,

The starry sky’s sublimity,
The ocean’s mighty power,
The wonder of creation
In the petal of a flower.

And so if we have failed to show
By work act or deed
That we are thankful unto Him
Who fills our daily need,

May this day show we’re grateful
When we add up all the sum
Of blessings we remember,
As we count them one by one.
