Day By Day
Finding Strength in God's Daily Grace
Lyrics
Day by day, and with each passing moment
Each day and with the passage of time
Strength I find to meet my trials here
I discover strength to face my trials in this life
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment
Putting my trust in the wise blessings provided by my Father
I've no cause for worry or for fear
I have no reason to be anxious or afraid
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Referring to God, whose kindness is immeasurable
Gives unto each day what He deems best
He gives each day what He considers the best
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure
Lovingly incorporating both pain and pleasure
Mingling toil with peace and rest
Blending work with peace and rest
Every day the Lord Himself is near me
Every day, the Lord is close to me
With a special mercy for each hour
Providing special mercy for every hour
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me
He is willing to bear and comfort me in all my concerns
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow'r
Referring to God as the Counsellor and Power
The protection of His child and treasure
The safeguarding of His child and valuable possession
Is a charge that on Himself He laid
This responsibility He took upon Himself
"As Your days, Your strength shall be in measure"
"As your days, your strength shall be in measure"
This the pledge to me He made
This is the promise made to the speaker
Help me then, in every tribulation
In times of trouble, assist me
So to trust Your promises, O Lord
So that I can fully trust in Your promises, O Lord
That I lose not faith's sweet consolation
To avoid losing the comforting assurance of faith
Offered me within Your Holy Word
Which is offered through Your Holy Word
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting
Help me, Lord, when faced with toil and trouble
E'er to take, as from a father's hand
To accept them as if they come from a loving father
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting
One by one, as days and moments pass swiftly
Till I reach the Promised Land
Until I reach the promised land
