| 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
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.
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.
