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.
Ev'ry
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 Pow'r.
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 eve'ry
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.
