- 1Day 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 measureGives unto each day what He deems best.Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,Mingling toil with peace and rest.
- 2Ev’ry day the Lord Himself is near meWith a special mercy for each hour;All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,He whose name is Counselor and Pow’r.The protection of His child and treasureIs a charge that on Himself He laid:“As your days, your strength shall be in measure,”This the pledge to me He made.
- 3Help me then in ev’ry tribulationSo to trust Thy promises, O Lord,That I lose not faith’s sweet consolationOffered 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 I reach the promised land.
