As Muitas Bênçãos

If in life the stormy waves are
If, with discouragement, you judge everything vain
Count the many blessings, say them all at once
And you will see, surprised, how much God has already done

Count the blessings, say how many they are
Received from the divine hand!
Come and say them all at once
And you will see, surprised, how much God has already done!

Do you have sorrows, is your work sad?
Is the cross heavy that you have to bear?
Count the many blessings! Soon you will rejoice
And, strengthened, you will overcome everything!

When you see others with their gold and goods
Remember that you have promised treasures
Never can the goods of the earth buy
The heavenly mansion you will inhabit

Whether your battle is long or brief here
Do not be discouraged God will be with you!
His divine help, lessening the evil
Will give you comfort and final reward
