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,
E’er
to take, as from a father’s hand,
One
by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till
I reach the promised land.
