Our Favourite Hymns

   Day by Day

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.

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 Counsellor and Power.

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 the pledge to me He made.

Help me then in every 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,

Ever to take, as from a Father's hand,

One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,

Till I reached the Promised Land.
