Bit by bit, day by day

Bit by bit

day by day

His dear words of grace

Ever fresh

ever sweet

warm my heart apace;

Spirit of wisdom and revelation grant

Show us our glorious hope and inheritance;

Strengthen us

Lord

into our inner man with strength

So that Christ may make His home in our hearts through faith.

Bit by bit

day by day

I His grace receive;

Grief and fears

pass away! How He cares for me!

In petition and prayer

tell Him everything

And the peace

peace of Christ

passes all we think.

I pursue towards the goal

run to gain the prize;

Just to know my treasured Christ

all else I’d despise.

Bit by bit

day by day

pow’r of God is shown

What is seen’s temporal

what’s unseen we’d know;

Treasure in jars of earth

show God’s pow’r divine

Sharing in Jesus’ death

that His life may shine;

We do not proclaim ourselves

Christ do we proclaim

And ourselves as His bondslaves

this is all our aim.
