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. 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
Counsellor and Pow'r.
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.
3. Help me then, in
every tribulation,
So to trust Thy
promises, O Lord,
That l lose not
faith's sweet consolation,
Offered me within
Thy 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 with Christ
the Lord I stand.
