Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
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, it's 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
