Day By Day Lyrics

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

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 Your days, Your strength shall be in measure"

This the pledge to me He made

Help me then, in every 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
