Day by d[C]ay and with each passing mo[F]ment
Strength I fi[G]nd to meet my trials h[C]ere;
Trusting in [Am]my Father's wise besto[F]wment,
I've no c[G]ause for worry or for fe[C]ar.
He's whose h[C]eart is kind beyond all m[F]easure
Gives unt[G]o each day what He deems b[C]est-
Lovingl[Am]y, its part of pain and ple[F]asure,
Mingling [G]toil with peace and re[C]st.
 
{comment: Verse 2}
Everyd[C]ay the Lord Himself is n[F]ear me
With a s[G]pecial mercy for each h[C]our;
All my ca[Am]res He fain would bear and ch[F]eer me,
He whose n[G]ame is Counselor and Po[C]wer
The prote[C]ction of His child and tr[F]easure
Is a ch[G]arge that on Himself He l[C]aid;
"As thy d[Am]ays, thy strength shall be in m[F]easure,"
This the pl[G]edge to me He m[C]ade.

{comment: Verse 3}
Help me th[C]en in every trib[F]ulation
So to tru[G]st Thy promises, O L[C]ord,
That I lo[Am]se not faith's sweet consol[F]ation
Offered m[G]e within Thy holy W[C]ord.
Help me L[C]ord, when toil and trouble m[F]eeting,
E'er to ta[G]ke, as from a father's h[C]and,
One by [Am]one, the day, the moments fle[F]eting,
'Til I re[G]ach the promised la[C]nd.

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's 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.

Everyday 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 Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E'er to take, as from a father's hand,
One by one, the day, the moments fleeting,
'Til I reach the promised land.
