1st Sunday Meditation: Countless Blessings

"He hides away sound and godly Wisdom and stores it for the

righteous, those who are upright and in right standing with Him;

He is a shield to those who walk uprightly and in integrity."

Proverbs 2:7

Crowned and crowded with God's blessings

Has my pathway been,

Every moment from His bounty

Something new;

I have tried to count them over,

But when I begin,

I can only stop and marvel at the view.

Countless blessings, countless blessings,

And blessings more to follow,

Praise His name!

I am lost in love and wonder,

For they far the stars outnumber,

And blessings more to follow,

Praise His name!

From His storehouse overflowing,

Like a king He gives,

And with lavish hand,

My every need supplies;

Untold mercies every day from Him

My heart receives,

And to comprehend His goodness

Vainly tries.

Countless blessings, countless blessings,

And blessings more to follow,

Praise His name!

I am lost in love and wonder,

For they far the stars outnumber,

And blessings more to follow,

Praise His name!

Tho' His love I cannot fathom,

Or His mercies count,

Or my debt of gratitude

To Him repay,

Hearts by sin and sorrow broken

Everywhere are found,

I can pass my blessings on

To cheer their way.

Countless blessings, countless blessings,

And blessings more to follow,

Praise His name!

I am lost in love and wonder,

For they far the stars outnumber,

And blessings more to follow,

Praise His name!

Pressing onward, ever onward,

Never looking back

Till I reach my home

In yonder sun-bright clime;

With my way to Him committed,

Nothing shall I lack

For I have the Blesser with me

All the time.

Countless blessings, countless blessings,

And blessings more to follow,

Praise His name!

I am lost in love and wonder,

For they far the stars outnumber,

And blessings more to follow,

Praise His name!
