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 with 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 is 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 Until I reach the promised land
