The Story Behind Count Your Blessings
Johnson Oatman, Jr. lived between 1856-1922. During his lifetime he wrote lyrics for over five thousand Gospel songs and hymns. A large number of his songs are still sung in the church to this day. Some of his most familiar hymns are: Count Your Blessings, He Included Me, Higher Ground, and No, Not One.
Edwin Othello Excell, commonly known as E. O. Excell, was a prominent composer during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Estimates of the number of songs authored, composed or arranged by Excell range well over two thousand. Two that remain well known are his 1909 arrangement of John Newton's Amazing Grace and the tune he composed for Johnson Oatman's Count Your Blessings.
