Author: Carolina Sandell Berg; A. L. Skoog, 1856-1934 Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #561 (1974) Meter: Irregular Hymnal Title: Hymns for the Living Church First Line: Day by day and with each passing moment Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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 Counselor and Pow'r.
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.
3 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 days, the moments fleeting,
Till I reach the promised land. Topics: Anniversaries; God the Father Care and Guidance; God the Father Faithfulness Scripture: Deuteronomy 33:25 Languages: English Tune Title: BLOTT EN DAG
