Day by day, and with each passing

1.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 Consellor 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.
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 with Christ the Lord I stand.
