Day by day, and with each passing moment

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 thy days

thy strength shall be in measure

”

This the pledge to me He made.

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

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.
