[Verse 1]
D Em
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
A A7 D
Strength I find to meet my trials here
Em
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment
A A7 D
I've no cause for worry or for fear
G
He whose heart is wise beyond all measure
A A7 D
Gives unto each day what He deems best
Em
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure
A A7 D
Mingling toil with peace and rest
[Verse 2]
D Em
Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
A A7 D
With a special mercy for each hour;
Em
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
A A7 D
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.
G
The protection of His child and treasure
A A7 D
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
G
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
A A7 D
This the pledge to me He made.
[Verse 3]
D Em
Help me then, in every tribulation,
A A7 D
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
Em
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
A A7 D
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
G
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
A A7 D
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
G
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
A A7 D
Till with Christ the Lord I stand.
