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.
