Day by day 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 to each day what He deems is best
Lovingly it's part of pain and pleasure
Mingling toil with peace and rest
Day by day the Lord himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour
Help me then in every tribulation
By the power within Your Holy Word
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 Lord when toil and trouble meeting
Threaten to take me from my Father's hand
One by one the days the moments fleeting
Til I reach the Promised Land
Day by day in my Father's hand
Til I reach the Promised Land
