In the movie " Hear my song" about the Irish singer Josef Locke there is a song containing the words " Count your blessings day by day" Can anyone supply the complete lyrics ?.

Many thanks

I had all the lyrics typed out (waiting for the page to load) and then I realized you're looking for a different Count Your Blessings than the two I know (one an old hymn and the other an Irving Berlin song). I'd like to hear the one you're looking for too.

Well, I found a sound clip from the Josef Locke recording here (click). That gave me enough to Google with, and this is what I found:

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
(R. Morgan and E. Temple)

Count your blessings one by one,
When dawn appears and day has just begun;
They will light your heart with happiness,
Make each hour bright and bring you gladness.
Count your blessings one by one,
When twilight falls and toil of day is done.
And in sweet dreams they'll come again to you,
If you will count your blessings each day through.

Count your blessings while you may,
For we are here but little time to stay;
All around are hearts sincere and true,
Lovely things abound just waiting for you;
Count your blessings while you may
The big or small, whichever comes your way,
For then you'll find this world a place of love,
If you will count your blessings from above.
