Day by Day
1. Day by day, and with each passing
moment,
Strength I find, to meet my trials
here;
Trusting in my Father's wise
bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all
measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best
Lovingly, its part of pain and
pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
2. Ev'ry day the Lord Himself is near
me
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and
cheer me,
He whose Name is Counselor and Pow'r;
The protection of His child and
treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
"As your days, your strength shall
be in measure,"
This the pledge to me He made.
3. Help me then in ev'ry tribulation
So to trust Your promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith's sweet
consolation
Offered me within Your holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble
meeting,
E'er to take, as from a father's hand,
One by one, the days, the moments
fleeting,
Till I reach the promised land.
