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.

Ev'ry day the Lord himself is near me,

With a special mercy for each hour

All my cares he gladly bears and cheers me,

He whose name is Counselor 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 ev'ry 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.

Day by day, your mercies, Lord, attend me,

Bringing comfort to my anxious soul.

Day by day, the blessings, Lord, you send me

Draw me nearer to my heavnly goal.

Love divine, beyond all mortal measure,

Brings to naught the burdens of my quest

Savior, lead me to the home I treasure,

Where, at last, Ill find eternal rest.

Day by day, I know you will provide me

Strength to serve and wisdom to obey

I will seek your loving will to guide me

Oer the paths I struggle day by day.

I will fear no evil of the morrow

I will trust in your enduring grace.

Savior, help me bear lifes pain and sorrow

Till in glory I behold your face.

Oh, what joy to know that you are near me

When my burdens grow too great to bear

Oh, what joy to know that you will hear me

When I come, O Lord, to you in prayer.

Day by day, no matter what betide me,

You will hold me ever in your hand.

Savior, with your presence here to guide me,

I will reach at last the promised land.
