Bible Reading Ephesians 1: 3-14

Sankey 745 or Rejoice 516 When upon the storms of life you’re tossed about, 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.

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

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..

Come, O Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Your grace Streams of mercy, never ceasing Call for songs of loudest praise Songs of God’s abundant treasure Sung by angel tongues above Songs that tell the boundless measure Of my Lord’s unchanging love. 1164

I remember God’s great mercy by His help I’ve safely come, And I know He will not fail me But will surely bring me home Jesus sought me when a stranger Wandering far away from God And to rescue me from danger Shed for me His precious blood

Thro God’s grace I am His debtor daily I this thought renew! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter Bind my wandering heart to You Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love Take my heart, O take and seal it Seal it from Your courts above.
