LYRICS: DAY BY DAY
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find, to meet my trials here
Trusting in my Fathers wise bestowment,
Ive 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.
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.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
Ever to take, as from a fathers hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till I reach the promised land.
Till I reach the promised land ...
