Day By Day

Verse 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.

Verse 2 ~

Every 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 Power;
The protection of His child and treasure
     Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
     This the pledge to me He made.

Verse 3 ~

Help me then in every tribulation
     So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
     Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
     Ever to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
     Till I reach the promised land.
