[1]
Keď i búrky, vetry zúria kol teba, keď si strachom bez vlády a bez seba, dobrodenia sčítaj, čo stali sa ti, podivíš sa, jakýs' veľmi bohatý!
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.
[chorus]
Sčítaj dobro Bohom činené, na životnú dráhu zložené. Dobrodenia sčítaj, čo stali sa ti, podivíš sa, jakýs' veľmi bohatý!
Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your blessings, see what God hath done; Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
[2]
Tlačí ťa až k zemi ťarcha starostí, kríž tvoj zdá sa k nezneseniu v tvrdosti, dobrodenia sčítaj, zmizne pochybnosť, ľahkým srdcom ponesie ťa zmužilosť.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly, And you will be singing as the days go by.
[3]
Zdá sa ti, že iný všetko krajšie má, spomeň mesto s ulicami zlatýma, dobrodenia sčítaj, márnosť uhynie, v nebi tvoja odmena ťa neminie.
When you look at others with their lands and gold, Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold; Count your many blessings, money cannot buy Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
[4]
Keď i mnohú ranu znesieš dnes v boji, netrať silu, veď pri tebe Boh stojí. Dobré veci sčítaj, anjel prichádza vzniesť ťa ta, kde domov tvoj sa nachádza.
So, amid the conflict, whether great or small, Do not be discouraged, God is over all; Count your many blessings, angels will attend, Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
