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 tarl 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 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, when grief 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,
till I reach the promised land,
till I reach the promised land.
